INTRODUCTION
AWT SYSTEM
AWT SYSTEM PRODUCTION
AWT SYSTEM PRODUCTION
The revolutionary AWT system uses an advanced hydrodynamic cavitation process to desalinate, remove contaminants, separate solids and destroy all biological contaminants. This approach is at least ten times more energy efficient and ten times lower cost than RO desalination. Reliability is unmatched since no filters are used in the primary system.
AWT SYSTEM PRODUCTION
AWT SYSTEM PRODUCTION
AWT SYSTEM PRODUCTION
While conventional desalination produces 50% - 60% waste discharge, the AWT system produces less than 3% waste, which can then be separated and utilized for various commercial products such as specific elements, fertlizers and building materials. This means that in addition to providing a cost effective global desalination solution, the AWT system can also retrofit existing desalination, municipal and sewage treatment facilities, effectively removing the inherent pollution of conventional water treatment, regardless of process.

OVERVIEW OF HYDRODYNAMIC CAVITATION
What is cavitation and how does it work?
Cavitation involves the formation and collapse of vapor cavities in a liquid. The collapse or implosion of these cavities creates localized zones of high temperature and pressure. Hydrodynamic cavitation occurs when liquid
flow conditions create pressure variations. In aqueous streams, hydrodynamic cavitation results in formation of hydroxyl radicals, as well as transformations to dissolved salts and suspended minerals.
Physical Processes
- Pathogen cell disruption
- Mineral and salt transformations
- Emulsification
- Atomization
- Generation of nano particles
Chemical Processes
- Increased transport coefficients
- Increased interfacial area
- Oxidation
- Crystallization
- Generation of extreme temperature and pressure
AWT Hydrodynamic Chamber Process

Hydrodynamic Zone
Hydrodynamic Zone
Water is pumped into the Unit at high pressure. Multiple units can be used in parallel to meet flow rate requirements.

Hydrodynamic Zone
Within the chamber, the process stream undergoes HDC, changing the structural and charge characteristics of the particulates and removes organic and inorganic contaminants.
Final Processing

Final Processing
Depending on the application, the water stream can also be used in tandem with filtration separation and reverse osmosis. A secondary hydrodynamic cavitaton process can be applied to achieve zero water discharge.

Real-Time Efficient Operations
Technical Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
The AWT system is designed for manned, remotely monitored, and/or autonomous operations. At the heart of the purification flow is the monitoring and control system that manages the subsystems. Pre-set, optimized system settings (flow rate, pressure, valves, injections, etc.) are centrally initiated and operated according to the inflow water qualities and desired outflow purity based on local conditions

TRIAL 1 – HEAVY METAL MINE DISCHARGE (SEPT. 2015)
TRIAL 1 RESULTS – HEAVY METAL REMOVAL (BLIND TEST)
Site Description
- Carpenter Snow Creek Mining District Superfund Site (CSCMD), Cascade County, Montana
- 9,000 acres with mine tailings, waste rock, and acid mine drainage
- 90 abandoned mines resulting in metal concentrations in surface water and soil at levels that are detrimental to human health and environment
- Added to Superfund Program’s National Priories List in 2001
Proposed Objectives
- Reduce heavy metal concentrations
- Demonstrate cost effectiveness
- Demonstrate small footprint, rapid deployment, and low-maintenance operation
- Mine discharge water was processed with the AWT system under several scenarios
TRIAL 2 - REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO) DISCHARGE RECOVERY
TRIAL 2 RESULTS - RIVERSIDE, CA
Processes
- Arlington Desalter processes 7 MG per day of brackish well water into drinking water
- Processed a stream of reverse osmosis concentrate through HydroVelocity Chamber and then back through RO
Recovery
- Recovering 50-60% of RO concentrate without fouling membranes

Production & Infrastructure
The six primary deep water wells servicing Riverton, Utah’s population of 45,000 and growing have been closed since May 1, 2015 due to water hardness and its adverse impact on both production and consumer infrastructure
Alpha Water Technologies (AWT) Mobilization
AWT mobilized its self-contained unit on October 2019 to demonstrate ability to reuse water supply and treat to drinking water standards
