Aqueous treatment apparatus utilizing precursor materials and ultrasonics to generate customized oxidation-reduction-reactant chemistry environments in electrochemical cells and/or similar devices

A method of treating a flow of water or aqueous solution in water treatment applications, said flow having properties, said method comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing at least one electrochemical cell having at least one plate anode electrode and at least one plate cathode;
• (b) providing dual-band ultrasound for enhancement of an electro-chemical reaction in-between each pair of anode and cathode plate electrodes of said electrochemical cell operating as single emitters or in sweep mode, a first band of said ultrasound being in a range from about 12 kHz to about 70 kHz for keeping said electrodes clean, said first band of said ultrasound situated such that it is perpendicular to the pair of plate electrodes to allow a majority of the ultrasonic waves pass through the plates and a second band of said ultrasound in as range from about 0.1 MHz to about 1 MHz to generate free radicals said second band of said, ultrasound traveling through the plates and is parallel to a gap between the plates;
• (c) treating said flow of Water or aqueous solution by passing said flow through at least one electrochemical cell and subjecting said flow to an electrolytic process in said at least one electrochemical cell to create a customized water chemistry in said flow;
• (d) generating an oxidation and/or reduction and/or precipitation process in said electrochemical cell for treating said flow, said step of generating including operating at least one cathode and at least one anode in said electrochemical cell;
• (e) providing at least one precursor material that can be selectively injected into said flow;
• and
• (f) injecting at least one of said at least one precursor materials into said flow prior to said step of treating to adjust said properties of said flow according to said customized and optimized water chemistry for pH, oxidation reduction potential, total residual oxidants and total organic carbon.
