Electrocoagulation (EC)

Electrocoagulation (EC)

EC consists of generating coagulant species in situ by electrolytic oxidation of sacrificial anode materials triggered by electric current applied through the electrodes. The metal ions generated by electrochemical dissolution of a consumable anode spontaneously undergo hydrolysis in water, depending on the pH, forming various coagulant species including hydroxide precipitates (able to remove pollutants by adsorption/settling) and other ions metal species. STC Canada Inc. optimizes the EC that combines various mechanisms from electrochemical, chemical and physical on a sequential and/or parallel.
