Description The present work focuses on the feasibility of electrocoagulation (EC) process for the treatment of
oil and grease wastewater generated from locomotive wash facilities. Experimental investigations
have shown the influence of various factors affecting EC using continuous reactor. The effect of
various operating parameters, like reaction time, electrode spacing, and applied voltage, was
investigated and optimized using Box-Behnken design method. The optimized value of applied
voltage and electrode spacing were found to be 28 V and 3 cm, and Chemical Oxygen Demand
removal efficiency obtained was 91.9%. As a result, EC process can be an alternative method for
the treatment of oily wastewater.
