• Electro-coagulation is the process of destabilizing suspended, emulsified, or dissolved contaminants in an aqueous medium by introducing an electrical current into the medium.
• The electrical current provides the electromotive force to drive the chemical reactions.
• When reactions are driven or forced, the elements or compound will approach the most stable state.
• Generally, this stable state is a solid that is either, less colloidal, less emulsified, or less soluble than the element or compound at equilibrium values.
• As this occurs the contaminants form hydrophobic entities such as precipitates or phase separations, which can easily be removed by a number of secondary separation techniques.
• It has wide application in metal plating industries which has heavy metals in the effluent, then in the effluents contained emulsified oil, textile effluent, etc.

Electro-coagulation Capabilities:

• Removes heavy metals like Cr, Cd, Cu, Ni, Zn, Al etc.
• Removes suspended and colloidal solids
• Breaks oil emulsions in water
• Removes fats, oil, and grease
• Removes complex organics
• Destroys & removes bacteria, viruses & cysts

Electro-coagulation Benefits:

• Reduce Sludge Volume
• No Chemicals like lime which increases the sludge quantity
• Process Multiple Contaminants
• Low foot print area
• Harvest Proteins, Oils, and Metals
• More than 70% removal of COD
• Easy to maintain
