Due to the diverse nature of intermediates used in the manufacturing of chemicals, wastewater streams vary significantly in terms of composition. The intermediates are often toxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic or non-biodegradable which present unique challenges for traditional wastewater treatment processes
Our water treatment process is designed to reduce COD to trace levels from both industrial
wastewater and specialty chemical washwater.
Nyex can remove persistent organic chemicals and micropollutants from wastewater, enabling safe discharge to sewer or water reuse as part of a ZLD strategy.
We have helped several clients save significant costs by using our unique treatment process to
reduce their incineration needs.
Tell us what organic compounds you need to remove from your water and our consultants will give their recommended approach which might involve:
Mr Tian, application engineer of Zestron China R&D
The unique Nyex Rosalox™ technology uses adsorption to localise pollutants at low and trace levels which are often missed by generic wastewater treatment methods. It then oxidises the impurities to H₂O, H₂ and CO. If your existing tertiary water treatment is not performing then we might be able to help.
We remove organic compounds to very low levels due to our unique combination of adsorption and oxidation. Nyex water treatment systems are extremely effective at breaking down and removing persistent organic compounds like phenols so are particularly suited to the specialty chemical industry.
Our Nyex water treatment processes have been designed to tackle the wastewater issues faced by the fine and specialty chemical sector, with these key benefits:
No chemical dosing means less COSHH compliance and operator time. No secondary waste streams means no need to stop production whilst sludge is removed and incinerated.
Targeted treatment of wastewater to remove toxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic or non-biodegradable contaminants.
Unique combination of adsorption and electrochemical oxidation in Nyex process means less energy is used to reduce organic compounds from water.
Nyex water treatment systems are modular and can be turned on and off according to demand, meeting your loadings. Particularly suited to batch processing of specialty chemicals. Further modules can be added based on manufacturing activity, ensuring the longevity of your investment.
Our Nyex systems can be retrofitted into existing treatment trains to remove the final problematic compounds which traditional treatment systems often leave behind. Improve efficiencies and reliability of existing treatment processes by removing fouling organics and hazardous organic chemicals at key points in the chain.
The treatment system is also unaffected by toxins or high temperatures and emits no odour. This means the system will fit easily into your manufacturing environment. Alternatively, systems can bepositioned externally to allow the expansion of your business activities inside the plant to take priority.
No chemical dosing and no waste products – eco friendly. A major asset in the plan to reuse water, reducing costs and improving CSR.

Rather than using chemicals to treat water, we use a patented combination of adsorption and electrochemical oxidation which is effective without chemical dosing. This reduces maintenance and COSHH obligations which reduces risk and increases safety and cost savings.
Due to the modular low maintenance nature of Nyex, it is used in several applications as follows:
Nyex systems can be positioned as a complementary process to increase the effectiveness of existing water treatment processes. For example, it can be used upstream of an RO system to protect the expensive membranes or downstream, treating the reject stream before incineration.
Also it is often used by clients to protect biological processes from hazardous chemicals such as phenol.
You might have boilers as part of your manufacturing site. Boilers and cooling water loops need regular ‘blowdown’ treatment to remove any residual chemicals.
This blowdown water may need to be treated before discharge if it contains any harmful chemicals. Our treatment systems are effective in removing the organic chemicals often found in blowdown water. We can remove corrosion inhibitors (azoles) and biocides as well as other organic compounds which might be in the water. We do not provide chemical treatment services or removal of inorganic contaminants.
Further challenges arise in the form of regulation for the reduction of clean water use, which encourages the implementation of process water recovery as part of your business as usual activities. We can help you with your Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) strategy.
Nyex™ treatment systems can used to ensure treated water is safe for reuse within the business. The ability to safely reuse process water reduces utility costs. It also helps to build positive Corporate Social Responsibility through the protection of the environment in water stressed times.
