ELECTROCOAGULATION

A large number of industrial processes are dependent on recycled and reusable water for their operations. Management of wastewater is essential for increased productivity and greater efficiency. Treated wastewater also protects the environment and benefits the ecosystem. Considering the need for wastewater treatment, after an extensive research work, Maxim Solutions has developed one of the finest, robust and versatile technology known as Electrocoagulation.

MAXIM ELECTROCOAGULATION SYSTEM E-LITE PRO

Electrocoagulation is an efficient and proven system used to treat wastewater impurities using electricity and a combination of electrode materials. Wastewater may contain colloidal particles, suspended matter, and dissolved matter. During electrocoagulation, electricity is passed through the effluent that needs to be treated, destabilizing the dissolved and colloidal particles. This process alters the charge on suspended matter enabling electrocoagulation, electro-oxidation, agglomeration, flotation, and removal.


PROCESS DESCRIPTION OF E-LITE PRO

Electricity is passed through the effluent to be treated. The process involves the electro-dissolution of sacrificial anodes that lead to the formation of hydrolysis products. This, in effect, results in the destabilization of Waste water pollutants. Whereas, waste water goes through an electrochemical reduction producing hydrogen bubbles at cathodes that bond with the pollutants . This helps in removing and oxidizing suspended solids, heavy metals, organic and inorganic compounds from the waste water.


MACHINE ARRANGEMENT OF E-LITE PRO

Maxim E-LITE PRO has a modular design based on the understanding and research of conventional EC systems, while simultaneously customizing it as per the industrial requirements of specific waste water treatment. The Maxim E-LITE PRO is easy to install, operate, and relocate.

An electrocoagulation reactor consists number of anodes and cathodes, immersed in the solution to be treated, connected to an external power source. The anode material goes through electrochemical corrosion due to oxidation. The cathode undergoes passivation due to reduction.

The electrocoagulation system has pairs of conductive metal plates in parallel, acting as mono-polar electrodes. In addition, it requires a direct current power source, a resistance box for controlling and regulating the current density and a multimeter to study the current values. The conductive metal plates are named as sacrificial electrodes. The sacrificial anodes and cathodes can be of the same or different materials.


E-LITE PRO EC COMPONENTS

  • 1 REACTOR: Coagulation reactors are made of polypropylene homopolymer (PPH) material with arrangements for Inlet/Outlet pipeline headers, pneumatically controlled valves, air inlet, electrodes resting seat and drain mechanism. The material used has many advantages like high flexural strength, Electrical insulator, low friction coefficient, resistance to moisture and chemicals.
  • 2 DC POWER SUPPLY: This is to supply a constant DC power allowing flexibility in terms of applied Voltage and Current to meet the treatment characteristics. With constant current/constant voltage selection mode it allow flexibility to meet required treatment characteristics. HMI based PLC allows easy operation and protection for entire system. With having more than 0.90 power factor it ensures lesser power losses resulting higher efficiencies and lower electric consumption. IGBT rectifier adopts AC-DC-AC-DC topology, 3 phase, AC is firstly converted to DC, which has capacitors for energy charging and discharging, it will suppress power fluctuation hence rectifiers don't need bigger capacity than actual requirement.
  • 3 Electrodes and lifting arrangement: The current enters from one of the electrodes and returns through the other during the process of electrolysis. Ions thus formed, are combined with the substance of electrodes causing its degradation. The electrodes with positive charge called Anode sacrifice in the treatment to initiate coagulation. There is an overhead lifting elevator with arrangements for lifting and placement of electrodes cassette in the reactor. E-LITE PRO EC electrodes come with this unique design which allow very easy cleaning and replacement during the operation of the system.
