We are an Australian company delivering water treatment solutions to contaminated waters that would otherwise be economically unfeasible due to overwhelming complexity of co-contaminants.
We studied technology from the aquarium industry that controls the level of contaminants and metals in water to support a healthy aquatic environment and drew inspiration from the formation of sea foam during storms. We designed and engineered a process that combined these to create Evocra’s cutting edge patented Ozofractionative Catalysed Reagent Addition (OCRA) process.
The benefits of the OCRA process are outlined below - to learn more about our process please read about The OCRA Process
Our internationally patented process transforms extraction fluids and contaminated waters into beneficial resources, cost effectively, without disruption to existing operations and infrastructure.
We focus on providing client outcomes that are economically superior and environmentally sustainable over traditional methods. We achieve this through our innovative OCRA technology with high value applications in minerals extraction, treatment of wastewater and industrial fluids, and remediating contaminated materials.
The first commercial scale plant was installed in 2011 to eliminate the effects of a mining related industrial effluent being released into a highly sensitive environmentContinuous research and collaboration with University of Newcastle and Newcastle Institute for Energy and Resources
An emergency treatment plant was constructed, deployed and operating within 6 weeks in 2017 to treat a large PFAS AFFF uncontrolled discharge in Brisbane, QLD, effectively treating and discharging 20 ML of contaminated water from multiple sources
A treatment plant was constructed and deployed at Hobart Airport to treat legacy PFAS runoff into groundwater as part of a treatment trial, achieving required discharge criteria over 12 months of operations
On-site landfill leachate PFAS treatment commenced in early 2020, initially as a field trial then continuing into month to month operations
For further information on these and other projects, please view our Case Studies here
OCRA has now evolved into a process applicable to treat a wide range of minerals and contaminants across numerous sectors including mineral processing and refining; oil and gas extraction; agriculture and aquaculture; high intensity industrial manufacturing, municipal water and wastewater treatment; and contaminated land remediation.
