Electrical Innovations in Electrocoagulation: Designing and Testing Prototypes for Sustainable Water Treatment

Abstract

Electrocoagulation is emerging as a sustainable solution for water treatment, despite higher energy consumption compared to traditional biological methods. Its advantages include shorter treatment times and the absence of chemical additives. Particularly suitable for arid regions facing water scarcity, this method promotes water conservation and reuse. Our research highlights an innovative prototype featuring an electrical generator designed to optimize the coagulation process and enhance overall treatment efficiency. Through comprehensive experimental testing, we demonstrate the reliability and effectiveness of this system for treating industrial wastewater, paving the way for broader adoption in industries committed to sustainability and responsible water resource management.
