Reactor with sacrificial metal anodes generating coagulants in-situ for emulsion breaking, metal removal, and organic reduction without external chemicals.
The Electrocoagulation Cell is a reactor vessel containing parallel plate electrodes connected to a DC rectifier. Iron or aluminium anodes dissolve electrolytically, releasing metal ions that hydrolyse to form coagulating hydroxides. Simultaneously, hydrogen micro-bubbles generated at the cathode assist flotation of the coagulated contaminants. Automatic polarity reversal prevents electrode passivation. The system eliminates external chemical dosing, reduces sludge volume by 40%, and is effective for emulsified oils, heavy metals, and colloidal organics.
No ferric, alum, or polymer delivery. Coagulant generated on-demand from sacrificial anodes.
Automatic polarity reversal every 15-30 minutes prevents anode passivation and cathode scaling.
EC sludge is denser and more dewaterable – 40% less volume than chemical coagulation.
PLC-controlled current density (10-50 A/m2) with real-time amp-hour metering for precise dosing.
