Electrocoagulation

I have often wondered about this very same question. Since they were just awarded a patent for the process, this information should now be readily available, albeit protected, online.

Electrocoagulation (EC) is a common waste water treatment process. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocoagulation#Technology). EC units are sold commercially for various types of waste water treatments. EC has also been used in other RAS shrimp projects before Natural Shrimp use. The electro-chemical processes involved are complex and not completely understood. There are a high number of chemical variables (shrimp and other waste water is a biochemical soup) in the process and as such the varing inputs can create highly variable outcomes. 

I know of one company using EC technology that had repeated explosions of their EC units - probably due to hydrogen build up. Their electrocoagulation unit was self designed, constructed and I believe patented applied for. Like a lot of complex patents, electrocoabulation specific design patents may be difficult to defend, because small design changes in unit design may produce an arguably different design patent. 

Hope this provides the information you seek.

Hi Sir,

I suggest you contact Mr. Tom Untermeyer tuntermeyer@naturalshrimp.com, or Mr. Rafael Zelaya rzelaya@naturalshrimp.com at NaturalShrimp Inc. since their information is mostly proprietary.  

They are doing well with their shrimp production and I'm sure the gentlemen will share what they can.

Regards,
