Electro Coagulation Effluent Treatment Plant (EC ETP)

Because Electrocoagulation (EC) utilizes methods that precipitate out large quantities of contaminants in one operation, the technology is the distinct economical and environmental choice for industrial, commercial and municipal waste treatment. The capital and operating costs are usually significantly less than chemical coagulation. It is not unusual to recover capital costs in less than one year.

For example a 5 GPM system contrasts the advantages of Electrocoagulation with a typical chemical coagulation system. This system was designed with the following requirements:

• Reduce Ni from 8.74 to < 3 mg / I
• Reduce Zn from 28.8 to < 3 mg / I
• Reduce TSS from 657 to < 250 mg / I
• Reduce Oil and Grease from 27 to < 15 mg / I
• Reduce phosphorus from 158.75 to < 10 mg / I
