WinWerks Turnkey Electrocoagulation Solution.
Electrocoagulation (EC), aka radio frequency diathermy or short-wave electrolysis, is a technique used for wash water treatment, wastewater treatment, industrial processed water, and medical treatment. Wastewater treatment by Electrocoagulation works well because it removes contaminants that are generally more difficult to remove by filtration or chemical coagulation treatment systems. This includes CCP, emulsified oil, total petroleum hydrocarbons, refractory organics, suspended solids, and heavy metals. This alternative technology is an extremely effective wastewater treatment system, reclaiming water for reuse, and the harvesting of valuable by-products from coal-fueled power plants.
Electrocoagulation has two major benefits:
Chemical Coagulation is an efficient process but creates sludge and may require constant change of filtration. It requires chemicals, which may cause health issues and labor-intensive work. Electrocoagulation requires no filters, limited daily maintenance, no additives, and removes any size of suspended solids, fats, oil, grease and heavy metals.
Mechanical Filtration addresses only particles greater than 30µm and suspended solids. Electrocoagulation, on the other hand, is proven to treat any size of suspended or dissolved solids.
Electrocoagulation technology can efficiently clean coal-plant waste-water to separate toxins and by-products from treated water.
U.S. Coal burning plants generate over 30% of the nation’s required electricity. It’s going to be with us while impacted by the EPA’s coordinated, integrated compliance and enforcement strategy to address Clean Air Act (CAA). President Donald Trump’s Executive Order on Energy Independence calls for a review of the Clean Power Plan. The event commits to the rule of law, cooperative federalism, and sound EPA scientific rule-making.
So how does Electrocoagulation fit into the high demanding EPA, and other environmental, social and financial regulations? Compared to existing wastewater treatments, the WinWerks Powell EC technology incorporates electromotive forces as a catalyst to initiate multiple reactions that suspend and neutralize TSS & TDS pollutants. This process oxidizes, neutralizes and coagulates CCP and removes harmful pollutants and metals from solution. Selenium, a highly toxic byproduct of coal-fired electricity production, is reduced and removed from the solution after treatment. Other metals such as Mercury, Antimony, and Chromium are oxidized through this system, too. The treated coal ash can be available for beneficial reuse or placed in landfills. The treated water can be reused for multiple purposes while meeting federal and state effluent standards.
WinWerks Powell Electrocoagulation treats various coal power generation wastewater streams including pore water, leachate, coal fines water, FGD, generating plant streams and storm-water. Achieving cost-effective business outcomes with electrocoagulation becomes simplified with Turnkey delivery, including testing and evaluation services from EPIC CALM (Coal Ash & Liquid Management) at UNC Charlotte.
