ERTH’s first technology to be developed was the ERTH Centrifuge. The first version of this centrifuge was completed in 2001, tested on municipal wastewater treatment sites and redesigned in 2003. The second version of the ERTH Centrifuge was completed in 2005 and is a trailer mounted unit for mobile wastewater treatment of municipal and agricultural wastewaters.
In 2001, ERTH began the development of its ERTH Reactor technology, with a focus on supercritical water oxidation (SCWO). A number of the leading experts in the field of SCWO have evaluated the technology concept and the preliminary design work. ERTH holds a number of patents that cover the key aspects of its SCWO technology.
In 2004, ERTH began the development and commercialization of its ACOS Reactor, a sub-critical reactor that will be used as both a revenue-generating program of its own, and as a step in the development of the SCWO technology. The ACOS process has been successfully tested on a variety of hazardous waste streams, and the prototype is currently ready for fabrication.
In 2007, ERTH obtained a license to a waste Volume Reduction System that alone, or in combination with the ERTH Centrifuge, produces clean water and a soil amendment and/or fertilizer as end products. A commercial scale unit has been fabricated and tested.
