ELECTROCOAGULATION: APPLICATIONS and BENEFITS
ElectroCoagulation (EC), the passing of electrical current through water, has proven very
effective in the removal of multiple contaminants from water simultaneously. The broad-
spectrum treatment effect allows one system to remove multiple contaminates.

ElectroCoagulation is the distinct economical and environmental choice for meeting water
treatment discharge standards and compliance requirements. Eliminating discharge fees and
fines, harvesting resources, and significantly reducing water replacement costs, generally
recover capital and operating costs.

SYSTEM CAPABILITIES:

 Processes Multiple Contaminants Simultaneously


 Removes complex organics, THMs
 Removes heavy metals as oxides that pass TCLP
 Removes suspended and colloidal solids
 Breaks oil emulsions in water
 Removes fats, oil, and grease (FOG)
 Destroys & removes bacteria, viruses & cysts
 1 GPM to 4+ MGD modules – multiple modules for larger flows

KEY APPLICATIONS:

 Organics Removal
 Phosphate & Nutrient Removal
 Ground water cleanup
 Influent quality water control
 Potable water
 Sewage treatment
 Cooling towers
 Pretreatment for reverse osmosis, ultra filtration, nanofiltration,
 Radioactive isotope removal
 Water reuse resulting in zero discharge
 Metal recovery
 Process rinse and wash water
 Industrial waste water
BENEFITS:

 Treats Multiple Contaminants Simultaneously


 Treats multiple contaminants with One technology system
 Capital cost significantly less than alternative technologies
 Operating cost significantly less than alternative technologies
 Low power requirements
 Generally no chemical additions
 Metal oxide formation passing TCLP
 Low maintenance
 Minimal operator attention
 Handles a wide variation in the waste stream
 Consistent and reliable results
 Sludge minimization
