Influent tank (1) <br />Water is transferred into the influent tank (1) from an <br />external source. When adequate supply of water has <br />been transferred into the influent tank, and provided <br />Clean Water tank #6 has room for additional supply, the <br />systems automation (Programmable Logic Controller or <br />PLC) will allow water to be processed. The pH of the water <br />is automatically adjusted in the influenttank using a digital <br />pH controller and chemical injection pump. <br />Control Tower (2) <br />The control tower (2) houses DC power supplies which <br />provides DC voltage to the electrolytic cells. Water tight <br />NEMA 4 rated enclosures are used to house the PLC and <br />other automation equipment for added corrosion <br />protection, As an option, we offer PLC communication <br />which provides the capability of monitoring, updating <br />system operations and troubleshooting the treatment <br />system via the internet, directly from the factory service <br />center, <br />Electrolytic Cell Assembly (3) <br />Fach cell assembly consists of one quick change -out <br />electrolytic cell, Multiple electrolytic cell assemblies may <br />be installed in parallel to achieve desired flow rates, The <br />submersible pump (located in the influent tank) transfers <br />wafer through the cell assembly, simultaneously DC <br />current is applied to the cell(s). When the cell(s) is used up, <br />the system will illuminate a light on the control panel <br />indicating that it is time to change -out the cell assembly. <br />The applied electrical charge, combined with the ionic <br />discharge from the electrolytic cell, begins the process of <br />coagulation and solids separation, The process also <br />generates small micro -bubbles, which become <br />attached to the coagulated agglomerations causing <br />them to become buoyant for automatic removal. <br />Separator Tank (4) <br />Water containing coagulated contaminants is transferred <br />from the electrolytic cells into the separator tank. The <br />separated contaminants will either float or sink inside the <br />separator tank. The floating material is pushed out the top <br />of the separator tank and is transferred to the sludge <br />accumulation tank (6). Material that settles to the bottom <br />of the fan* is also transferred to the sludge accumulation <br />tank using a sludge pump. <br />Clean WaterTank (5) <br />Water then flows into the final clean water tank (5) where it <br />is ready for reuse or discharged to sewer. Treated water is <br />airrrop Environmental, 2775 29th Ave. 5W, Tumwater, WA 98512, (360) 943-6495 <br />subject to application requirements for reuse or sewer <br />discharge limits. <br />Sludge Accumulation Tank (6) <br />Contaminants that are separated from the water are <br />transferred to the sludge accumulation tank (6J. As the <br />micro -bubbles de -gas, the sludge settles and is <br />contained in the bottom of the tank. Subject to each <br />application, the accumulated sludge must be routinely <br />removed from the tank and disposed of according to <br />local code, Excess water above the sludge line, will <br />overflow back into the influent tank for re -processing <br />through the treatment system. <br />For recycled water or where applications require a <br />pressurized sewer discharge , a water Pressurization <br />System is offered with the recycle models. The kit includes <br />a corrosion -resistant stainless steel pressure pump (7), <br />liquid sanitation injection system (8) and a flow control <br />system (9), <br />Summary <br />The ElectroPulse system is completely automated and <br />requires no daily maintenance, only a "tour" of the <br />system. The typical consumable items will be pH control <br />chemicals (if required) and periodic electrolytic cell <br />replacement. Although the consumable costs will vary for <br />each application, the ongoing cost of operation (Le_ <br />electricity to operate the system; cell replacement costs; <br />and a labor factor to replace each cell) about 1130 or <br />$3.00 per 1,000 gallons of processed water, <br />EP5-WR <br />
