A system and process for removing contaminants from water and wastewater, where the water or wastewater is transformed into purified water that can be discharged to the environment. Wastewater is transported through several stations for purification, including an electrochemical cell. The purification process begins by sending the wastewater to a classifier through an in-line basket strainer. The wastewater stream in the classifier is drawn through a solid-liquid hydrocyclone, which returns the solids to the classifier and sends the remaining liquid to feed tanks. Contaminants that float are removed from the wastewater by skimming from the surface of the feed tank. The wastewater underflow from the feed tanks is pumped directly to the electrochemical cell where it enters into the bottom of the cell, and exits from the top of the cell. The discharge, including coagulated solids, hydrogen gas, and oxygen gas, is mixed with a polymer as well as compressed air just prior to entering a static in-line mixer. The resulting mixture flows past a vertical vent pipe to a flotation cell. The underflow of the flotation cell, which is substantially free of coagulated solids, flows by gravity to a settling tank where any remaining solids sink to the bottom. The solid-free liquid (water) exits the settling tank over an overflow weir and is pumped through a plurality of bag filters and finally through a polymeric filter to remove remaining contaminants. -38-
