ELECTROCHEMICAL (e-T) TREATMENT OF WATER AND AQUEOUS WASTE<\/h2>

Electrochemical technology relies on the use of electrons for the on-site generation of coagulants or oxidants, using compact and modular equipment that can be set up in reduced spaces and easily extended, if necessary.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Electrocoagulation (e-ECT)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The technique works by means of an electric field in the space between the cathode and anode (sacrificial anode, which generates the ferric or aluminium hydroxides\/coagulants). Although the process is similar to the physical-chemical treatment, it offers highly superior performance both in terms of the efficiency of the electro-reduction – oxidation – chemical absorption processes and in terms of a substantial reduction in sludge generation (between 30% and 75% less). The process has been successfully used on solids \/ colloids \/ heavy metals \/ hydrocarbon water, oily water, emulsions, or COD \/ TOC \/ easily coagulable total nitrogen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electrochemical technology reproduces the traditional physical-chemical treatment except that it generates the necessary coagulants on-site without the need to add new salts like aluminium polychloride, ferric chloride, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to acting as a physical-chemical treatment, the electro-chemical reaction results in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
