Specialised Electrocoagulation is an Electromechanical technique using short wave electrolysis to coagulate and precipitate out large quantities of locally charged and

colloidal contaminants from water source in one continuous batch operation. Irygen utilises sets of electrically charged metallic electrodes to accomplish one

of the most important physio-chemical reactions used in water & wastewater treatment, coagulation

The cost benefits in using Irygen specialised EC technology are typically significantly less than conventional chemical coagulation when accounting for the labour savings, reduction in sludge and disposal costs as EC sludge passes TCLP tests for non hazardous material disposal. In addition Irygen EC technologically typically provides higher quality effluent post clarification treatment

Irygen EC treatment systems are typically utilised after screen pre treatment and a grit chamber. However it can also be used in a secondary polishing treatment application for the treatment of heavy metals or other specific contaminants prior to clarification or filtration

Services Offered:

Lab/Bench Treatability Testing Services with Validation by Third Party Lab

Systems:

These systems are modular systems designed based on the treatment application.
