MODAR
MODAR :
Named after Modell, the inventor, and his original partners O'Donnell and Rich. An application of Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO). A process for destroying organic wastes, especially hydrocarbons, by oxidation under supercritical aqueous conditions. The waste water, and alkali, are heated to 450 to 650ºC under a pressure of >200 atm. Hydrocarbons are rapidly oxidized to carbon dioxide; organic compounds of halogens, sulfur, and phosphorus are converted to the respective inorganic acids which are neutralized. Invented in 1980 by M. Modell in Cambridge, MA; developed by MODAR and engineered and commercialized with ABB Lummus Crest in 1989
