How to Use Our Electrocoagulation (EC) Test Kit – A Step-by-Step Guide

Electrocoagulation (EC) is a powerful and eco-friendly method for treating complex industrial wastewater.

At YASA ET, we've developed a compact, plug-and-play EC test kit that allows researchers, engineers, and industrial users to simulate real wastewater conditions before scaling up.

In this article, we walk you through how to use the EC test kit step-by-step — whether you're testing COD removal from palm oil mill effluent (POME), treating textile wastewater, or exploring the effectiveness of different electrode materials.

What’s Included in the EC Test Kit?

Our S-EC series (1A / 5A / 10A) test kits are designed with transparency, ease of use, and full control in mind.

Each kit includes:

• Transparent acrylic EC reactor (1L, 5L, or 10L)

• Aluminum and iron electrode plates

• DC Power Supply (0–24V, 0–30A)

• Recirculating pump

• Tubing, valves, and fittings

• Skid-mounted kit housing with flowmeter

• Wires, clamps, power cables

• Operation Manual (PDF) + video tutorials

Step-by-Step: How to Run Your First EC Test

Step 1: Prepare Your Wastewater Sample

• Filter out large particles >2mm

• Adjust pH to 6–8 if needed

• Measure and record COD, turbidity, or any target pollutant levels

Step 2: Assemble the Kit

• Connect the recirculating pump with soft tubing

• Insert the electrode plates (alternating anode/cathode)

• Connect wiring to the power supply: Red to anode (+), black to cathode (–)

• Fill the reactor with 1–10L of your wastewater sample

Step 3: Set Your Power Parameters

• Recommended current density: 20–50 A/m²

• Voltage: 5–12V depending on conductivity

• Adjust flowrate using the flowmeter (~10–100 L/h)

Tip: Use our built-in polarity switch function to prevent passivation of electrodes.

Step 4: Start the Test

• Switch ON the power supply

• Let the system run for 15–60 minutes (depending on the sample)

Observe:

• Floc formation and settling

• Color fading or turbidity reduction

• Gas bubbles from the electrodes

Step 5: Collect & Analyze Samples

• Take treated water from the outlet or top of the reactor

• Analyze COD, BOD, color, turbidity, etc.

• Compare before/after to evaluate removal efficiency

Optional: Try With Different Electrodes

We offer over 10 types of electrode plates, including:

Electrode Type	Application Example
Iron / Aluminum	Standard EC – heavy metals, COD removal
Stainless Steel	EO support or low-shedding environments
Ti/Ru-Ir, Ti/Pt	Advanced EO disinfection / oxidation
BDD (10µm / 20µm)	High-end oxidation, pharmaceutical

You can easily swap the plates to test different reactions.

Want to Order or Customize?

We offer:

• 3 standard sizes: 1L, 5L, 10L

• Spare electrodes in all materials

• Optional test kits with EO cells (BDD, Ti/Pt)

• Custom reactor designs on request

Lead time: 2–3 weeks Global shipping available CE/TÜV certified on request

Who Uses Our EC Test Kits?
