Electrocoagulation Systems treats complex waste streams.

LANDA Jun 27, 2003

Press Release Summary:

Model EC-20 ElectroClear (EC) system uses electrocoagulation to processes complex wastewater streams at rates up to 20 gpm. System also removes contaminants such as emulsified oils, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, petroleum products, suspended solids, and heavy metals. EC-treated wastewater can typically be recycled or discharged to sanitary sewer. System is fully automated and employs no filters.

Landa Introduces 20 GPM Model to Line of Electrocoagulation Systems

Landa, North America's largest manufacturer of industrial pressure washers and associated water treatment systems, has introduced a new model to its line of electrocoagulation systems for treating extra-complex waste streams.

The EC-20 will process 20 gallons per minute (GPM) of wastewater as compared to 10 GPM in an earlier model.

ElectroClear (EC) system uses electrocoagulaton, an electricity-based technology for treating complex waste streams economically and on-site. The EC treatment process has proven successful in removing a variety of contaminants that are impossible or too expensive to be removed by filtration and chemical treatment systems. Among these contaminants are emulsified oils, TPH (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons or petroleum products), suspended solids and heavy metals.

EC-treated wastewater typically is of a quality that can be recycled or discharged to a sanitary sewer. Average treatment cost is only $.0025 per gallon or $2.50 per 1,000 gallons.

The ElectroClear systems are customized and modular for accommodating floor space. Systems are being used in a variety of applications, including heavy equipment washing, marinas, military wash operations, forest products processing, aircraft refurbishing, auto auctions, groundwater remediation, and surface finishing and polishing.

Packaged with on-board automation, the EC system is fully automated, which dramatically reduces the cost and time of maintenance often associated with on-site wastewater treatment systems. Also, there are no filters to clean. Landa, which has been manufacturing wash-water treatment systems since 1989, now offers systems in a broad range of technologies, from filtration and ozonation to evaporation and bioremediation. That's in addition to Landa's extensive line of aqueous parts washers and industrial-grade hot- and cold-water pressure washers.
