OVERVIEW:
Electrocoagulation is a popular (and more recently used) term used to describe an age-old process that involves passing water between two or more electrically charged metal electrodes to promote the coagulatation of suspended solid contaminants. The process has been proven effective for a wide range of contaminants, including oils, grease, arsenic, chromium, nickel, zinc, copper, and silica. The applied electrical charge neutralizes contaminants, while liberating metal ions from the surface of the electrodes to create metal hydroxides that coagulate the contaminants into a dense mass that can be removed by settling, dissolved air flotation, microfiltration, or other common methods used for the separation of solids.
FEATURES:
. DC Power Source
. Energized Plates consumed over time as part of the process
. Coagulation occurs as the water exits the reactor (30-60 s on avg. is needed for this step)
. Coagulated solids removed using "DAF" technique (Dissolved Air Flotation)
TARGETED MARKETS:
. Oily Water,
. Grease and Fat,
. Metal Plating
. Food Processing Plants
. Pits and Ponds
. Dairy
. Also removes the following:
. Arsenic
. Chromium
. Nickel
. Zinc
. Copper
. Silica
BENEFITS:
. Cost efficient
. Fast relative to current methods
. Minimal Supervision using sophisticated Automation and Controlling parameters
. Environmentally friendly
