Fuel Tech Releases White Paper Validating Oxygen Transfer Efficiency of Its Dissolved Gas Infusion Technology

Fuel Tech’s DGI technology is an innovative alternative to current aeration technologies. DGI utilizes two patent-pending technologies to ensure optimal gas delivery to target water and wastewater process applications: a next generation pressurized saturator for gas transfer to a slipstream of water; and an innovative delivery system to distribute an oxygenated slipstream of water that virtually eliminates gas loss from the targeted reservoir.

DGI addresses a variety of issues, including regulatory compliance, water preservation, as a replacement for chemicals to treat wastewater, odor reduction, and improving overall water quality for humans and wildlife. DGI’s addressable markets include water and wastewater treatment, agriculture and irrigation, reservoirs and natural waters, industrial process water conditioning, pulp and paper, food and beverage facilities, upstream oil & gas, and landfill leachate.

Vincent J. Arnone, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “This validation study is a foundational component of our ongoing DGI business development strategy. We are continuing to evaluate our resource requirements to achieve our goal of product commercialization by year end 2022 and as noted on our recent conference call we have begun our search for an experienced water and wastewater treatment executive to assist in our efforts.”
