Electrocoagulation apparatus with integrated sludge control chamber and feed controller assembly

摘要

Electrocoagulation and sludge control apparatus and feed controller assembly for effluent treatment are disclosed, the apparatus including a primary reaction chamber having electrodes mounted therein and a treated effluent output. A sludge chamber is defined below and integrated with the primary reaction chamber and has a selectively openable outlet. The feed controller assembly is intermediate the primary reaction chamber and the sludge chamber and has a length selected for distribution of all effluent feed water across substantially an entire length of the primary reaction chamber.

1. An electrocoagulation and sludge control apparatus for effluent treatment comprising:
a primary reaction chamber having electrodes mounted therein and a treated effluent output; a sludge chamber defined below and integrated with said primary reaction chamber and having a sludge output; and a feed controller assembly intermediate said primary reaction chamber and said sludge chamber and having a length selected for distribution of all effluent feed water across substantially an entire length of said primary reaction chamber, said feed controller assembly including a longitudinal tube and a stationary base pipe, said longitudinal tube having connection means for association with an effluent feed source, at least a first elongated slot extending said length and at least a second elongated slot spaced from said first slot, said tube configured for rotation inside said stationary base pipe, said base pipe having elongated co-located slots formed therealong, whereby turn adjustment of said tube defines a net opening slot area defined by selected overlap of said first and second slots with said co-located slots for net feed area adjustment through said assembly.
