Abstract:
The study aims to treat polluted water before it is released into the environment or used in reinjected oil wells. The test runs were done by an electrocoagulation unit that was collected and introduced in the lab. The current was utilized as a part of the unit with various densities to test the turbidity-expelling effectiveness. The exploratory outcomes revealed that the grouping of oil was diminished to (10.7, 11.2, 11.7, 12.3) mg/l when distinctive current densities of (0.00253, 0.00633, 0.01266, 0.0253) A/cm2 were utilized separately. We conclude from this research that the best current in terms of stagnation removal is 0.0126 A/cm2 and the minimum distance between the electrodes, and in terms of oil removal, the highest removal at the current is 0.0253 A/cm2.
