EFLO - Electrocoagulation (EC)
Electro-Coagulation (EC) is the passing of an electrical current through water. It is a proven and very effective process for the removal of contaminants in that water. EC provides chemical free water treatment of aqueous waste streams and is suitable for a wide range of waste waters of single or combined element contamination.
EC provides chemical free water treatment of aqueous waste streams and is suitable for a wide range of waste waters of single or combined element contamination.
The process is able to remove over 99% of some heavy cat ions and also appears to be able to electrocute micro organisms in the water.
Colloids are charged and precipitated. Significant amounts of other ions and colloids are also removed. Oily emulsions are broken.
Heavy metals processed with sufficient activation energy precipitate into acid resistant oxide sludge such as NiFe2O4. In the USA, this allows the sludge to pass the Toxic Classification Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and be reclassified as non hazardous.
EfloEC is applicable to a very wide range of industries and is one of the key processes in grey water recycling.
