A novel electrocoagulation system with polarity shift ability was designed for the treatment of produced water, aiming to reduce electrode passivation issues. Experimental results showed that polarity changeover in the switching mode operation significantly improved oil removal efficiency compared to the conventional mode.
A novel electrocoagulation (EC) system for the treatment of produced water (PW), with a provision to shift polarity is designed with the aim of reducing the problems resulting from electrode passivation. The enhancement of performance in terms of the rate and completion of the pollutant removal, energy and electrode consumption, sludge formation and ultimately the operating cost has been investigated by performing statistically designed experiments using RSM. The switching mode operation of EC had brought about significant improvement in the oil removal than the conventional mode. The polarity changeover in short span of batch recirculation time (BRT) was found to be more effective. Greater current density (CD) and supporting electrolyte concentration (SC) were found to enable a still lower switchover time (SOT) so that changeover frequency can further be increased. It was possible to remove a maximum of 99% COD and 98% Oil & Grease from a PW sample having initial concentration of 360 mgL(-1) of oil (1280 mgL(-1)COD) at BRT of 15 min, CD of 1.6 Adm(-2), SC of 3 gL(-1) and SOT of 1 min. The combination of operating variables (BRT-3 min, CD-2.14 Adm(-2)SC-3 gL(-1)and SOT-1.9 min) giving minimum operating cost (0.65 US$/kg COD removed) achieving oil removal (88%) meeting discharge standards was found out by optimizing the RSM models for cost and oil removal. The method can be considered as an effective alternative for treating PW especially in offshore oil basins where time and space are the major constraints. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
