VentilAQUA BLUE - Model VABEC - Electrocoagulation Unit - Brochure

Electrocoagulation Technology is an electro-chemical process that removes suspended, emulsified or dissolved contaminants from water by using an electrical current instead of expensive chemical reagents. It utilizes a direct current to cause a split off or free metal ions into the liquid medium from sacrificial anodes and cathodes, that will remove undesirable contaminants either by chemical reaction and precipitation or by causing colloidal materials to coalesce and then be removed by electrolytic flotation. The most common plate materials are iron and aluminum. These metal ions tend to form metal oxides that electro-chemically attract to the contaminants that have been destabilized, producing insoluble oxides and hydroxides - floc - that are easily separated from the clear water.
