comPany Profile

ground effects energy (gee) leads the way by offering the most effective wastewater

treatment process available in the world. Exceeding the ever-changing needs of the oil and gas,

mining, and manufacturing industries since 1998, Ground Effects Energy is shaping the direction of

wastewater treatment through leading edge technology.

We are a dedicated technology manufacturer that provides specialized products for innovative and

effective wastewater treatment.

our aPProach

Our commitment is to be a global provider of innovative, high performance wastewater treatment

technologies backed up by world-class training and technical support that exceeds our clients’ needs.

We are currently looking to work with strategic partners globally to be service providers. Our

partnership approach is to bring together senior leadership teams with the experience and depth for

both strategic vision and strong day-to-day operations.

Buy one. Buy all four.

Buy individual components or the entire integrated package

We can manufacture any of the four individual components of our Wastewater Treatment Technology

or the entire integrated pre-packaged ElectroPure Technology (EPT). It’s your choice. Each component

can be integrated into your existing wastewater process easily depending on what you need.

The complete pre-packaged integrated system has a compact footprint and is easily deployed or

incorporated into your existing system or process. The following four components make up the EPT.

1. Electrocoagulation Unit

2. Advanced Oxidation Process

3. Dissolved Gas Flotation Unit

4. Filtration Unit

The science Behind The ePT

the ept works on the principle of electrokinetics. Via proprietary coated electrodes, the EPT applies a high current electrical field to the wastewater.

The electrical field destabilizes the molecular bonds between the waste and the water. Through the

destabilization process, the waste separates from the water and is skimmed off, leaving the clean

water. The process does not use heat or chemicals and has very low energy use.

Variable Cell Configuration (VCC) allows

changes such as electrode material and

thickness, total surface area, electrical

current density, and electrode gap thickness,

which allow system optimization and

adaptability. Advanced oxidation processes

(AOP) like electro catalytic oxidation, ozone,

and hydrogen peroxide can be incorporated

for a combined and more powerful effect on

hard-to-treat wastewater.

no matter the industry. we have the solution.The EPT can be used to treat a variety of produced water for any industry that requires

reliable and effective wastewater treatment , including oil & gas, industrial, mining,

and agriculture. The EPT uses high current densities which means it can remove difficult

contaminants, like H2S. The unit is installed on a compact, portable skid for easy set up.

The EPT is:

• Designed with a small footprint for minimal space usage

• Highly mobile and rugged

• Easy to install and operate

• Certified DNV 2.7.1 – with crash frame option available

• UL, CSA, ATEX, IECEx, Class 1, Zone 1 certified

easy oPeraTion

the control panel is designed for ease of operation. The EPT system has few moving parts and is highly automated, which reduces training,

downtime, maintenance, and operating costs.

The EPT’s Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is intuitive and loaded with system information for

‘just in time’ learning and can be remotely monitored by the customer and supported by GEE.

A mobile app is now available for all smartphones, including Android. For safety, all systems are

pre-wired for all appropriate safety shutdowns for the oil and gas industry specifications.
