Electrocoagulation (EC) is a broad-spectrum treatment technology that removes total suspended solids, heavy metals, emulsified oils, bacteria and other contaminants from water. It uses low amounts of electricity and metal plates to separate pollutant molecules (negatively charged ions) dissolved in wastewater, by bonding them with positively charged ions from the metal plates. The bonded pollutant molecules are heavier-than-pure-water molecules and can be easily removed through flocculation.
There will be networking from 5pm, before the presentation begins at 5.30pm. Nibbles provided.
Andreas Kurmann, of Far North Envirolab, will present on using electrocoagulation for wastewater treatment. This process has recently been incorporated into the Taipa wastewater treatment plant and will soon be built into the Rawene Treatment plant. It is a solution for collective treatment for multiple houses, for community halls, marae and other similar use cases.
