Technology

The electrolytic cell, or module, undergoes anodic oxidation, resulting in metallic ions in the form of hydrates absorbing pollutants and forming sediments.

Benefits
  • Separation of heavy metals
  • Separation of oils and fats
  • Oxidation of organic substances/breakdown of organic molecules
  • Reduction of ecototoxicity, up to full neutralisation
  • Separation of bacteria, viruses and parasites
  • Separation of suspended substances and colloids
  • Reduction of odours
Low cost of investment

Compared to competing technology of an equivalent result (vaporisers).

Low operating costs

The system requires periodic electrode replacement, no other service is required.

Water parameters remain unchanged

pH, conductivity remain unchanged and anionic concentrations do not increase. The composition of water purified by electrocoagulation does not change as chemicals are not used during treatment.

Low energy consumption

Typically, the pilot module (in our configuration) does not exceed the power consumption of 7-12 volts and 250-300 amps (equivalent to about 3 kWh) to clear 1-2 m3/h.

Minimum amount of sludge

Sludge formed in the amorphous form of the dissolved electrode material, resulting in a better response and therefore less sludge formation.

Suitability of the electroagulation process

Reuse of water in a situation of restricted water availability
