Electrocoagulation System Introduced for Stormwater Management

PORTLAND, Ore.?EUR??,,????'??+Stormwater Management, Inc., has announced a new electrocoagulation (EC) system that uses controlled electrical current to remove multiple contaminants from industrial wastewater, wash water, and storm water, in many cases, the company asserts, eliminating the need for chemicals and significantly reducing power demand and operator attention.

Unlike mechanical and chemical systems that need to be monitored, adjusted, and maintained around the clock, operators of the EC System are said to need only make routine checks once or twice a day.

The new system draws only a minimal amount of power?EUR??,,????'??+approximate 15 amps on a 230V 3-phase circuit at 5 gpm?EUR??,,????'??+significantly less than mechanical systems. Computer control and minimal components are touted to make the system reliable and simple to maintain.

"Our electrocoagulation system also significantly reduces operating costs, making it an ideal option for industrial applications," said David Pollock, CEO of Stormwater Management, Inc. Pollock asserts the treated water is up to 10 times better than that of mechanical systems, and nearly 100 percent of the cleaned water can be recycled. The system purports to separate emulsified oils, suspended solids, petroleum hydrocarbons and heavy metals.

The EC System comes in a prepackaged cargo container that sits above ground.
