Embodiment Construction

[0043] In a preferred form, the invention will be described with reference to an electrocoagulation cell and system of the type described in the co-pending International Patent Application No. PCT / AU01 / 00054. However, it should be noted that the invention could also be realised with other types of electrocoagulation cells.

[0044] Referring now to FIG. 1, there is generally shown an electrocoagulation cell 1 comprising a plurality of electrodes 2, in the form of plates, which form the electrocoagulation cell. Plate extensions 3 and 4 abut the respective edges 2A of the electrodes 2 which form part of a housing 5 of the electrocoagulation cell 1. The extensions 3 and 4 prevent short-circuiting between the electrodes 2 of different potential. DC power to the electrocoagulation cell is applied to the two end electrodes as shown in FIG. 1.

[0045] The electrocoagulation cell is used in fluid treatment plants for treatment and purification of a conductive solution such as might be produced...

Abstract

A control assembly for an electrocoagulation cell (1) comprising a plurality of electrodes, a releasable connection means (6) between at least a selection of the electrodes and electrical connection means (9, 10, 9A, 10A) attached to the releasable connection means (6) which in use is connectable to a power supply (12). An electrocoagulation system comprising a plurality of electrodes (2), an electrolytic cell (1) having an internal chamber which contains the plurality of electrodes (2), and a power supply (12) connectable to a power source and also connectable to the electrodes said power supply having control means (14, 24) for providing a selected constant output current or selected constant output voltage whereby the electrolytic cell may process samples of varying characteristics.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to an electrocoagulation system which an electrocoagulation cell includes as well as a control assembly for an electrocoagulation cell. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Electrolytic cells are commonly used for treating liquids to change the liquid for a predetermined purpose. Electrocoagulation is a particular electrolytic treatment process for separating and removing contaminants or undesirable contents from a liquid. [0003] Typically an electrocoagulation cell contains electrodes and an electrolyte that is to be treated. The treatment process may be performed in a number of ways depending on the nature of the electrolyte. [0004] Numerous prior patents describe electrocoagulation systems of which AU 707432 describes an electrochemical treatment device for softening water. The device is powered by a current generator producing a current which is adjustable and applied to an anode and cathode terminal of an electrolytic...
