Avlon EcoFloc - Industrial Effluent Treatment Plant
Electrocoagulation: Efficient Water Conditioning; Electrocoagulation represents a cutting-edge approach to water treatment that draws from the principles of chemical coagulation but with a dynamic twist – the application of electrical energy. In an Electrocoagulation reactor, a pair of electrodes, one anode, and one cathode, create an electrolytic cell. When a specific voltage is applied, a sequence of chemical reactions unfolds. The anode, whether aluminum or iron, initiates oxidation processes, generating essential ions like Al3+ or Fe3+. As water traverses the electrocoagulation cell, a multitude of concurrent reactions takes place. Metal ions are introduced into the water, while hydrolysis at the cathode yields hydrogen gas and hydroxyl groups.
Simultaneously, electrons drive the destabilization of surface charges on suspended solids and emulsified oils. The result? The formation of substantial flocs that capture contaminants, including suspended solids, heavy metals, and emulsified oils. These flocs are then efficiently removed in downstream processing steps.
STREAMLINED OPERATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Our Electrocoagulation system is engineered for operational simplicity and efficiency. Housed within a modular intermodal cargo container, it`s a plug-and-play solution that can be seamlessly integrated into your facility, whether above ground or underground.
THE PROCESS UNFOLDED:
Water Intake: The journey begins with the Sump Pump, drawing water from the Sump Pit and directing it into the system.
Chemical Enhancement: As water flows through the chemical enhancement piping, pH, ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential), and conductivity are expertly adjusted to optimize treatment conditions.
Quality Assurance: Sensing probes ensure that pH, ORP, and conductivity levels are precisely where they need to be.
Flow Control: The water then encounters a flow control valve and a flow meter, ensuring the flow rate is regulated for optimal performance.
Electrocoagulation: The heart of the system lies within the Electrocoagulation Chamber, where water is meticulously pumped between metal plates charged with DC current. This controlled electrochemical process kickstarts pollutant removal as suspended contaminants bond together, forming larger, easier-to-remove masses.
Coalescing and Flocculating: The treated water proceeds to the Coalescing/Flocculating Tank. Here, bonded contaminants coagulate and flocculate out of the water, while emulsified oils are efficiently separated and removed via the Oil Decanter Cone.
Holding and Transfer: Product water moves to the Holding Tank, awaiting transfer via the Transfer Pump.
DAF Precision: The effluent water then undergoes Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) treatment. Emulsified petroleum elements rise to the water`s surface, while heavier solids settle to the tank bottom. Separated contaminants are directed to a sludge accumulation tank, while the purified water proceeds to a separator tank for the final removal of any remaining floc.
Efficient Powerhouses:
Our system features two high-capacity centrifugal pumps designed for peak performance, with operational control at your fingertips. A consolidated control panel empowers operators to effortlessly manage and adjust critical system variables. Whether manual or automatic operation is preferred, our system caters to your specific needs, with the option for remote operation for added convenience.
In summary, our Electrocoagulation and DAF system ensures seamless, precise, and efficient water treatment, making it an invaluable asset for achieving water quality goals, regulatory compliance, and sustainable water management.
For the meticulous separation of contaminants from water laden with flocs, we employ the versatile Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) systems. Here, micro air bubbles take center stage, facilitating the separation process. As water flows into the skimming tank under atmospheric conditions, micro-bubbles ascend, carrying suspended solids to the tank`s surface for swift removal. Avlon`s DAF systems offer a dual benefit by significantly reducing sludge volume through initial thickening, resulting in remarkable cost savings for our customers. This water treatment journey encompasses a spectrum of processes, including ionization, destabilization, oxidoreduction, electrolysis, free radical generation, electromagnetic field formation, and the crucial breaking and separation of emulsions. Through the seamless integration of electrocoagulation and DAF technologies, we deliver water treatment solutions that excel in efficiency, sustainability, and performance.
