Treatment with TURBOCOAG® is an excellent alternative to deep well injection disposal and also reduces operational costs and preserves resources.

Avivid’s Electrocoagulation Advantages: ​

  • Oxidizes and precipitates heavy metals
  • Kills bacteria, molds, spores and viruses, unlike chemical coagulants
  • Creates micro-bubbles for flotation cells
  • Removes suspended and colloidal solids without sludge buildup 
  • Removes fats, oil, grease and other complex organics
  • Few or no chemicals required
  • Substantial reduction in residual sludge resulting in reduced disposal costs
  • Most sludge is inert creating TCLP sludge suitable for ordinary landfill
  • Effective preprocess for RO and ED systems by prolonging membrane life

TURBOCOAG® FEATURES:

  • Commercial models from 25 to 200 GPM per reactor
  • Controllable throughput 
  • Continuous water treatment 
  • Self-cleaning system
  • Passivation-free anodes, aluminum, or iron
  • Sludge-free reactor
  • Higher level of suspended solids handled
  • Strong flocculant is easily filtered / quickly settled

FRACK POND WEST VIRGINIA

Frack water from a storage pond in West Virginia was treated on April 15th through April 17th, 2019 and tested on April 15th and April 18th.  
The water was initially treated with the TurboCoag® 1-GPM bench scale reactor to determine appropriate treatment levels and polymer dosages. 
Water was then treated at different dosage levels using the larger reactor in the pilot trailer known as TurboCoag® IV.
​The treated water was held in four 1500-gallon storage tanks.  The water from each tank was tested for residual iron levels, which were compared to the iron levels in the untreated water. 
The following tables provide data from these treatments.


Note: All tests performed with Hach FeroVer assay using Hach 890 spectrophotometer.  Accuracy is +/- 10%.
​
The picture below shows the unfiltered samples from the above table. The water samples shown were decanted from the tanks (pictured below, left) about 18 inches above the sludge line.

ADDITIONAL TURBOCOAG® FEATURES

ARGO MINE RESULTS AFTER TREATMENT WITH TURBOCOAG®

  • ​Small footprint minimizes floor space requirements
  • Heavy duty steel construction 
  • Top-access clam shell design 
  • Low maintenance – two-hour anode replacement
  • Efficient removal of multiple contaminants​​
  • Modular, scalable solutions for mobile or fixed install
  • Choice of metals for sacrificial anodes enables cost-effective treatment and optimization of contaminant removal 

The settling tanks, shown far left, hold the treated water from which the above samples were taken. These tanks are 116 inches high containing 1500 gallons each.  

The picture to the near left, shows the amount of sludge visible after settling. 
The following table shows lab test results after the water samples taken from the storage tanks after settling.
