Electrocoagulation (EC)

Electrocoagulation Systems by RTW

Industrial wastewater streams frequently contain finely dispersed solids, emulsified oils, heavy metals, and persistent contaminants that remain difficult to treat through conventional chemical dosing alone.

RTW delivers engineered electrocoagulation systems that provide controlled, consistent contaminant destabilization using electrochemical principles, supporting reliable separation and long-term treatment performance.

RTW electrocoagulation systems are supplied as complete treatment units or integrated into larger wastewater treatment plants, addressing industrial requirements across the Middle East.

RTW Electrocoagulation System Overview

RTW electrocoagulation systems are designed to generate coagulant species directly within the wastewater stream using electrically energized electrodes. This approach reduces chemical dependency while improving treatment consistency for complex and variable industrial effluents. Here is how RTW structures electrocoagulation systems for dependable industrial operation.

System Configuration and Modular Layout

RTW systems are configured to match flow rate, contaminant load, and available footprint. Modular construction allows installation flexibility, phased capacity expansion, and integration within existing treatment infrastructure.

Electrical and Process Control Architecture

Each system includes controlled power supply units, current regulation, and monitoring interfaces. Electrical input is adjusted to maintain consistent treatment performance under changing influent conditions.

Adaptation to Industrial Wastewater Profiles

RTW designs electrocoagulation systems for effluents containing oils, dyes, surfactants, metals, and fine colloidal matter commonly generated by industrial processes.

Electrochemical Treatment Mechanism

Electrocoagulation operates through electrochemical reactions that generate active coagulant species and separation-supporting gases directly within the wastewater. RTW systems are engineered to control these reactions for stable and predictable treatment outcomes. Let’s explain how RTW manages electrochemical processes within operational environments.

Bubble Generation and Separation Enhancement

Electrolysis produces fine hydrogen and oxygen bubbles. These bubbles attach to aggregated particles, supporting flotation and improving the removal of low-density solids, oils, and greases.

Reaction Control Under Variable Loads

RTW systems regulate current density and electrode exposure time to match influent variability, ensuring treatment stability without excessive energy consumption.

RTW Electrode Design and Longevity Strategy

Electrode performance directly influences electrocoagulation efficiency and operating cost. RTW systems are designed with electrode materials and arrangements selected for durability, consistency, and predictable replacement intervals.

Electrode Material Selection

RTW selects electrode materials based on wastewater chemistry, conductivity, and target contaminants. Material selection supports consistent ion release and minimizes premature degradation.

Arrangement and Spacing Optimization

Electrode spacing and orientation are engineered to promote uniform electrical fields and hydraulic flow, reducing dead zones and uneven treatment within the reactor chamber.

Maintenance Accessibility and Replacement Planning

System layouts allow straightforward electrode inspection and replacement, minimizing downtime and supporting long-term operational continuity.
