The Future of Stormwater Treatment.
Introducing our Electric Flocculant Generator - a portable stormwater treatment device designed to remove pollutants without pumps, filters, or chemicals.
What is Electrical Flocculation?
Dissolution
Dissolution
Electrical flocculation is a water treatment
process that leverages electric current to
destabilize and aggregate suspended
contaminants. As the current passes between metal electrodes, electrolysis induces the dissolution of metal ions into the solution.
Coagulation
Dissolution
These ions undergo hydrolysis, forming neutrally charged coagulant species that facilitate the adsorption and entrapment of pollutants such as suspended solids, oils, and heavy metals.
Flocculation
Flocculation
The resulting flocs settle gravitationally, allowing for efficient separation and removal.

Fagan Consulting is working with the Auburn University Stormwater Research Facility to develop a stormwater treatment device that uses electricity to remove pollutants without chemicals, pumps, or filters. Our ELECTRIC FLOC GENERATOR treats a range of pollutants from construction and post-construction activities and land uses. The latest cartridge-based configuration fits inside a 6" pvc pipe; operates with a solar charged 12-volt DC battery or AC current; is less than 2 feet long; and weighs about 6.5 pounds. Varying flows and pollutant loads are addressed by adding more cartridges either in series or parallel. Several configurations addressing various stormwater treatment applications are in the works. Stay tuned.
