Treatment process and system for wastewater, process waters, and produced waters applications

This invention describes a way to clean dirty water by first using electricity to make the pollutants stick together, then separating those clumps out. The cleaned water is then further purified by passing it through a membrane filter, aiming to recover more than 25% of the original water volume.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in energy-efficient membrane materials and more durable, cost-effective electrode designs for electrocoagulation. These material and efficiency improvements could make the combined process more economically viable now.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
How hard to build: SpecializedElectrocoagulation reactor, power supply, membrane separator
