High volume electrolytic water treatment system and process for treating wastewater

A high volume electrolytic water treatment system for treating influent wastewater and removing both complex and variable contaminate compositions found in the influent wastewater, the system comprising:

• a primary influent surge tank with electrocoagulation electrodes suspended therein, said electrodes connected to a power source for providing alternating current thereto, said electrodes for destabilizing materials found in the wastewater received inside said primary influent surge tank;
• a first flow-through module with electrocoagulation electrodes disposed therein, said electrodes connected to a power source for providing alternating current thereto, said electrodes for further treating the influent wastewater received inside said first flow-through module and removing contaminates found therein, said first flow-through module connected to and downstream from said primary influent surge tank;
• and
• a foam removal tank with vacuum connected to and downstream from said first flow-through module and said second flow-through module, said vacuum for removing foam and floating sludge from the treated water in said foam removal tank.

A process for treating influent wastewater and removing both complex and variable contaminate compositions found in the influent wastewater, the process using a primary influent surge tank with electrocoagulation electrodes connected to a power source and a first flow-through module with electrocoagulation electrodes mounted therein and connected to a power source, the steps comprising:

• introducing the influent wastewater into the primary influent surge tank and treating the wastewater water using the electrocoagulation electrodes and destabilizing suspended materials found therein;
• and
• introducing the pretreated wastewater from the primary influent surge tank into the first flow-through module and further treating the influent wastewater and removing contaminates found therein;
• and
• discharging the treated wastewater from the first flow-through module into a foam removal tank with vacuum, the vacuum used for removing foam and floating sludge from the treated water in the foam removal tank.
