ElectroCoagulation: APPLICATIONS and BENEFITS
ElectroCoagulation (EC), the passing of electrical current through water, has proven very effective in the removal of Multiple Contaminants from water Simultaneously. The broad-spectrum treatment effect allows ONE system to remove multiple contaminants.

ElectroCoagulation is the distinct economic and environmental choice for meeting water treatment discharge standards and compliance requirements. Eliminating discharge fees and fines, harvesting resources, and significantly reducing water replacement costs, generally recover capital and operating costs.

Benefits of ECpw ElectroCoagulation Systems

Organics & Color  Removal of River Water 

St. Johns River, Central Florida water

Left Cup is EC treated St. Johns River water to remove organics.

Right cup is untreated St. Johns River water.

Color and Organics creating DBPs were reduced 95% for color and 90% for long-chain organics as evidenced by UVA254 reduction.
