Hybrid Non-Biological (EC + AOP + Adsorption)

Combined electrocoagulation, advanced oxidation, and adsorption for complex industrial waste with metals, organics, and emulsified oils where biology is impossible.

Since 2016
Global Delivery
Performance Guaranteed

System Overview

EC First Stage

Electrocoagulation removes metals, breaks emulsions, and creates dense floc for efficient solids separation.

AOP Second Stage

Ozone/UV or Fenton oxidation destroys refractory organics after EC clarification and filtration.

GAC/IX Final Polish

Granular activated carbon and ion exchange remove residual organics, micropollutants, and specific ions.

Integrated SCADA

Multi-process optimisation with ORP, UV intensity, electrode consumption, and carbon breakthrough monitoring.
