Solar based hybrid combination of electrocoagulation and filtration process in domestic greywater treatment

Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the importance of solar-based Electrocoagulation followed by the filtration process in treating the domestic greywater, analyze each operational process’s performance process in highlighting the cost, efficiency and reuse conditions. Analysis: This research aimed to see if the continuous mode EC technique could treat Greywater (GW) with batterypowered solar energy. The EC process running on solar energy is used as a single unit method for Greywater treatment. This explores the hybrid electrocoagulation and filtration process with different electrode material combinations with a flow rate; based on this, and the impact tests are carried out on the flexibility of continuous mode, anode and cathode efficiency. Findings: In this experiment, using a combination of electrodes with different material having continuous flow find about removal efficiencies of different characteristics like COD, Total dissolved solids, Total suspended solids, pH and Turbidity with the variable in the supply of current with fix detention time. Novelty:Experimental approach based on Solar based Electrocoagulation with filtration mechanism is the new concept of approach for treating Domestic Greywater Keywords: Domestic Greywater; Solar energy; Electrocoagulation; Continuous mode; Controlled flowrate; Filtration
