Abstract
A system for cleaning contaminants from a body of water includes a dam that restricts a flow of water in the body of water. The system also includes a generator that generates electric power from the body of water, and one or more electrodes that induce an electrocoagulation current upstream of the dam. A filter press then removes contaminants that are precipitated from the water of the body of water by the electrocoagulation current.
Claims20
A system for cleaning contaminants from a body of water, comprising:
- a dam configured to restrict a flow of water in the body of water;
- a generator configured to generate electric power from the body of water;
- one or more electrodes configured to induce an electrocoagulation current upstream of the dam;
- and
- a filter press configured to remove contaminants that are precipitated from the water of the body of water by the electrocoagulation current.
