McKay Creek Technologies, Ltd.

Electrocoagulation (EC) works by electrically dissolving a metal anode into a treatment stream of contaminated water. Chemically reactive ions are released that break stable emulsions and suspensions causing contaminants to form flocs that can be removed leaving clean clear water for use, reuse or ‘in compliance' discharge.

WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT
Until now all EC cells have been plagued with fouling of the electrodes causing high maintenance and low productivity. Our patented breakthrough design allows a continuous, efficient non-fouling consumption of a single anode without complicated timers, polarity changes, PLCs, back-flushing or constant replacement of partially utilized electrodes. Our products are industrially robust, simple to operate and very efficient. One million liters of treatment per anode is typical with industrially contaminated or ships oily bilge water at 80-120 liters/min. per cell.

WHO CAN USE McKAY CREEK ELECTROCOAGULATION
With a small footprint and low set up and operating cost, our equipment is an excellent choice for operations with water contaminated with emulsified oils, BETX, PAHs, poorly settling solids, poorly soluble organics, contaminants that add turbidity and negatively charged metals. Shipyards, manufacturing, food production, commercial waste handlers, oil and gas, mining, aquaculture, oil from algae and desalination plants are some of the industries that can benefit. Our technology is scalable and treatment cells can be designed to meet process requirements.
