Ecothor Electro-Coagulation and Disinfection uses the power of electricity and the ingenuity of the team at E2METRIX to provide a clean and economical treatment of water, wastewater, landfill leachate, groundwater municipal, and industrial water (ex. mining, food & beverage, agriculture). To date, E2METRIX has delivered over 200 reactors.
Ecothor® EC and Ecothor® D are modular, “plug and play” processes. The Ecothor reactor can be operated alone or assembled to treat water flows from as low as 1 cubic meter to thousands of cubic meters daily. It can operate in two different modes; electro-coagulation (Ecothor®-EC) and electro-disinfection (Ecothor® D) to target removal of a wide range of contaminates.
Ecothor Electro-Coagulation and Electro-Disinfection are the next-generation technology for the removal and recovery of nutrients, the reduction of micro-contaminants, the elimination of microorganisms, and the advanced oxidation of complex organics.
It is a comprehensive and cost-effective solution for advanced wastewater treatment.
- Low OPEX: Proprietary anode design with an optimized power management system ensures low operating costs.
- Low CAPEX: Flexible reactor sizing ensures that the system can easily scale up from less than 10 m³/d to more than 5,000 m³/d.
Electrochemical Disinfection
Ecothor Electro-Disinfection is a simple-to-operate, chemical-free, cost-effective solution to eliminate pathogens and other microorganisms in at-risk water circuits such as those for cooling towers, hotel and hospital hot water systems, or for safe re-use of process water. The E2METRIX technology is protected by a vast portfolio of patents.
Electrochemical disinfection involves passing an electrical current through the water that is passing through the reactor. The current ionizes the organic compounds on the surface of the bacterial and biofilm cell walls (including legionella), which induces the inactivation of the organism and its elimination. The removal of these pathogens is achieved with the potential difference between the electrodes, as well as the formation of clean, powerful oxidants.
Ecothor Electro Disinfection uses non-sacrificial anodes designed to generate powerful oxidants. The type of anode used is based on the requirements of the application. Different anodes are used depending on the properties of the water. The type and quantity of the oxidant generated can be adjusted via the system controls and algorithms. The oxidants can include hydroxyl radicals of various forms, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and others. Because the electrodes are non-sacrificial, they have a long working life.
Electro-coagulation
Ecothor Electro-Coagulation is a patented, cost-effective, and green treatment process that utilizes electro-coagulation to treat and eliminate complex organics, total suspended solids, heavy metals, emulsified oils, phosphates, ammonia, and other contaminants from water. The process is completely automated and includes real-time water quality monitoring, data logging, and controls that guarantee compliance with discharge criteria.
E2METRIX’s electro-coagulation technology does not use hazardous chemicals. Anodes are selected depending on the treatment application. E2METRIX’s technology is protected by an extensive patent portfolio.
