KASELCO designs, manufactures and installs wastewater treatment systems that utilize electrocoagulation. The process uses electricity and sacrificial plates, which combine with contaminants in a waste stream and produce insoluble oxides and hydroxides that are easily removed. KASELCO began operations in 1996 as a division of Kaspar Wire Works, which has been in operation since 1898. In 1995, Kasper began to evaluate electrocoagulation as an alternative to chemical precipitation as a means to cut costs. Eventually the company s engineers designed and patented a working reactor that was effective, efficient and easily serviced. Kaspar has been using electrocoagulation for its own operations since that time and has since manufactured and installed more than 18 units at for other companies.
