Description
This course introduces the electrochemical and process-engineering foundations of Avivid Water Technology’s advanced electrocoagulation (EC) systems, emphasizing how controlled electrical fields enable contaminant removal, metals recovery, and water reuse without chemical additives. Attendees will gain technical insight into EC mechanisms, system design, performance parameters, and field applications across multiple industries, supported by real-world case studies and operational data.
Duration:
4 hours (half-day session)
Learning Objectives:
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
-
Explain the fundamental principles of electrocoagulation and how Avivid’s approach differs from conventional EC and chemical treatment systems.
-
Identify key design and operating parameters that affect treatment performance, including current density, electrode material, and flow configuration.
-
Evaluate field performance metrics and regulatory outcomes from diverse applications (produced water, mining, food processing, landfill leachate).
-
Compare lifecycle cost and sustainability metrics versus traditional chemical or membrane systems.
-
Understand how Avivid systems support resource recovery (rare earths, precious metals) and closed-loop reuse initiatives.
-
Recognize emerging market opportunities and compliance drivers influencing adoption across industrial sectors.
Target Audience:
-
