Electrocoagulation is an electrochemical process for the treatment of waste water, effluent, process water, produced water, bilge/ballast water, mine tailings, etc. The process was originally developed in 1906 to treat bilge water from ships, but was never adopted at the time due the lack of legislation concerning marine discharges.
Electrocoagulation is a proven and cost effective technology to treat and remove most contaminants/pollutants from water. It removes suspended solids, emulsified hydrocarbons and many dissolved organic compounds, heavy metals, (including chromium, cadmium, gold, platinum, radionuclides) and arsenic, bacteria, algae, larvae, etc., from water for re-use/discharge. The process may also be used to protect reverse osmosis elements, membrane filters, ion exchange columns, etc., from fouling. The process is continuous flow and is low in energy consumption.
