OT:Sonic article in Hazmat April/May magazinehttps://www.hazmatmag.com/Issues/ISarticle.asp?id=163733&story_id=76083151207&issue=05012005&PC=&btac=no Some tidbits from the article that stood out imo... Professor Timothy Mason, the director of the Sonochemistry Centre at Coventry University in the U.K. Dr. Mason has published over 200 papers and 15 books on sonochemistry (the chemistry of sound) and sits on Sonic's technical advisory board....He adds that he has faith in the equipment and
believes it will work for a number of applications, including destroying bacteria in water, speeding up the process of sewage treatment and removing oil from soil. "There are too many applications for it," he says, laughing.
Sonic also has two generators waiting to be assembled and commissioned. One will likely remain on the West Coast, while the other will be set up in Eastern Canada. And, while the
company plans to start by building partnerships in Canada, PCBs are a global problem and plans are also in the works to team up with firms internationally. Japan and the U.S. are of particular interest due to the size of their PCB remediation needs. Europe and Latin America also hold promise.
the sonic generator can remediate hydrocarbon- and creosote-contaminated soils. Sonic has also been in discussions with a public sector partner regarding a Sonoprocess to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in coal-fired power station flue gases and capture sulphur dioxide (SO2) in the ash. "We are obviously very interested in these other processes and have begun to look for partners in these areas," says Mr. Sumel
