Heavy Metal Removal from Wastewater with No Chemicals or SludgeIntroducing ElectraMet™ from PowerTech Water

Over 99% Selective for Heavy Metals

No CapEx and Low OpEx

ElectraMet™ harnesses the power of carbon electrode technology to remove heavy metals from wastewater and process water with no chemicals or sludge by-product. PowerTech Water manufactures and sells capacitive coagulation ElectraMet modules to remove heavy metals

from industrial wastewater and process water. The ElectraMet modules are carbon-based electrochemical filters

that use small voltages (< 2 V) in an active filtration process to target heavy metals with > 99% selectivity. The

ElectraMet modules remove metals from water streams and do not produce a sludge by-product while achieving

100% water recovery and yielding cost reductions of up to 90%.

Features & Benefits• No Chemicals = no sludge (up to 100 tons sludge

avoided per filter Module)

• Low energy (< 0.1 kWh/m3)

• Automated and trackable filter life

• Small footprint for easy retrofits

• Little setup and maintenance

• No CapEx and low OpEx (up to 90% reduction)

Applications• Battery

• Semiconductor

• Automotive

• Electroplating

• Metal Finishing

• Mining
