STATE-OF-THE-ART ELECTROFLOCCULATION

The electroflocculation principle has been known since the beginning of the century, but until recently it has not been used in industrial applications, The 'Purifier' described in the paper is an electroflocculation unit which can separate oil, organic substances and heavy metals from water. It is most competitive with concentrations of less than 5000 parts per million oil or organic substances in water. The paper describes the major working principles of the 'Purifier'.
