Process
Clean, safe water — no chlorine smell, no storage risks, no toxic waste
Result
FORT Ferrator is the first compact, modular system that produces sodium ferrate directly where you need it
A powerful solution that kills bacteria, viruses, and removes chemicals like oil, dyes, and industrial waste
Output
How Sodium Ferrate Cleans Water
Sodium ferrate (Na₂FeO₄) is a new, eco-friendly way to clean water.
Unlike chlorine or ozone, it does three jobs at once: oxidizes, disinfects, and removes impurities. That means safer water, lower costs, and no toxic byproducts.
With sodium ferrate, you don’t need to handle or store dangerous chemicals.
The solution is made fresh, on-site, using only alcali (NaOH 20%), electricity, and iron.
Why choose FORT Ferrator?
Verified effectiveness against chemical pollutants and biological contaminants
Lower chemical volumes and disposal costs than chlorine, ozone, or UV
FORT Ferrator is the winner of the BRICS Solution Awards 2024 for Climate & Environmental Technologies
International recognition
Fully compliant with global potable water and discharge standards
12-month ROI at ~0.1 million m³/year wastewater throughput
Demonstrated turbidity and color reduction when combined with coagulants

FAQs
Sodium ferrate solves these problems by delivering oxidation, disinfection, and coagulation in a single step – without dangerous byproducts or complex infrastructure.
- Municipal & Utilities: Removes pathogens from drinking water without chlorine smell; reduces toxicity and color in wastewater; treats landfill leachate.
- Oil & Gas: Breaks down hydrocarbons and phenols in produced water; improves desalination feed water quality; neutralizes refinery effluent.
- Chemical Industry: Eliminates dyes, solvents, and persistent organics from process streams.
- Food & Beverage: Ensures safe process water and reduces organic load in wastewater.
- Agriculture: Provides clean water for crops and livestock while treating pesticide runoff.
- Healthcare & Pharma: Removes pharmaceutical residues, pathogens, and biological waste.
- Airports & Transportation: Treats glycol-rich de-icing wastewater and stormwater runoff.
- Specialized/Remote: Mobile deployment for mining camps, oil fields, and military bases.
Instead, it breaks down into iron(III) hydroxide, a harmless compound that can even aid in particle removal during treatment. For industries and municipalities under pressure to meet strict discharge standards, sodium ferrate provides a compliance-friendly, sustainable solution.
- Operational efficiency: One chemical replaces three processes, reducing operator training and system complexity.
- Infrastructure protection: Lower corrosivity and sludge volumes extend the life of pipes, pumps, and filters.
- Energy efficiency: Less reliance on energy-intensive ozone, UV, or aeration systems.
- Risk reduction: No chlorine storage or transport, lowering insurance and safety costs.
- Predictable performance: Stable, repeatable results make budgeting and maintenance planning easier.
For urgent needs, mobile Ferrator units can be delivered and commissioned quickly, providing immediate chlorine-free treatment for emergencies, pilot projects, or remote operations. This flexibility makes sodium ferrate a practical choice for both planned and unplanned water treatment challenges.
