Abstract
Electroflocculation is a combination of the processes of electroflotation and electroprecipitation. Previous work on electroflocculation has mostly been done on laboratory cells. This article reports results from experiments carried out on a 1 m 3 /h electroflocculation unit on produced water from the Frigg field in the North Sea. The experiments were performed in cooperation with Elf Petroleum Norge AS. The separation of nonpolar aliphatics is satisfactory under all operating conditions, and the values for energy demand are also favourable. The results show that the electroflocculation technique is an interesting alternative for certain industrial applications. The equipment is on the verge of being commercialised
