Ovivo Gains U.S. Patent for Advanced Electro-Technology Reactor in PFAS Water Treatment


Ovivo has announced the issuance of a U.S. patent for E2metrix’s latest electro-technology reactor, marking the 16th patent in the company’s portfolio and expanding its capabilities in water treatment. Designed to enhance on-site treatment for persistent contaminants like PFAS, the patented reactor employs electro-oxidation, electrocoagulation and electro-disinfection processes, offering efficient contaminant removal across various water sources. With eight additional patents pending, E2metrix continues to advance its electrochemical reactor design to address emerging water treatment challenges.

The newly patented reactor optimizes electro-oxidation technology to increase contaminant removal by ensuring thorough mixing and preventing gas buildup within the system. In PFAS applications, the reactor uses non-sacrificial anodes to maximize contact between contaminants and the electrode surface, targeting the strong carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS molecules for effective degradation. Beyond PFAS, the reactor’s electrocoagulation mode allows for the treatment of heavy metals, phosphates and suspended solids, expanding its applicability to various industrial and municipal needs.

E2metrix states that this latest patent reinforces its commitment to providing advanced, environmentally responsible water treatment solutions that meet the evolving demands of industries and municipalities. The company emphasizes that its electro-technology platform offers consistent, cost-effective performance with practical maintenance features that benefit both industrial and municipal operators.
