 | | Irving Backman reports that using the technology, contaminated water is treated in a reactor at ambient temperatures by a series of carefully timed, high voltage, electric discharges initiated above the fluid. |
 | | For over 15 years scientists and research organisations throughout the world, including the US Department of Energy, have attempted to apply a 'Glow Discharge Plasma' technology to treat toxic or contaminated waters in order to destroy organic contaminants, and hopefully also separate out inorganic contaminants, such as heavy metals and radionuclides. |
 | | Variations in the electric field generate 'Activated Water' a form of water that contains high energy and chemical effects, which can dramatically enhance other chemical reactions, or create its own chemical activity. |
