WM Accepted effects: H(oil/paraffin-water separation)+, J(waste water/oil field produced water cleaning): Electrically Enhanced Oil Recovery(EEOR): (ElectroPetroleum, Geoox dk, Группа компаний «Петрос»+), also some oil majors have patents: at Some soil/oil/mineral situations much higher recovery is made by: i-EM Pulse based Electrochemical cracking, ii-ElectroHeating(decreases heavy oil viscosity), iii-Oil is dragged out with water as this permeated water/diluent(but sometimes chemical needs to be injected - then not cleantech) migrates or spirals with electric fields/pulse. ii, iii are also used as Oil Sand recovery process in Canada widely, but under-utilized in other oil sand regions/other geological crude oil recovery: •

Seems to be even more effective than convection effect added Electro-thermal Dynamic Stripping Process(ET-DSP)(McMillan McGee Corp+), or Thermal-Assisted Gravity Drainage(TAGD)(Athabasca Oil+): they need no external water, less depth limitation compared to types of already conventional basic Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage(SAGD), or further less efficient Cyclic Steam Stimulation(CSS) for unconventional oil sands EOR. For oil field remediation focus: (ElectroKinetic Solution+), while others additionally claim bioremediation enhancement of tailing ponds due to collection of nutrients and minerals strategically..
S(coagulation/toxin separation), G2(harvesting electricity+): Reverse ElectroWetting use(Instep nanopower+), Often appearing similar but actually different Tribo Electric harvester(Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy & Nanosystems+), Lot more efficient than PiezoElectricity. H2(dewater sludge, soil, Geosynthetics): Food use is WM approved, while masonry, water ingress proof use is sometimes debunked(HydroTech Asia, ElectroKinetic Limited, Lectros, Structural Technologies+), but US military endorsed(Drytronic de), But adding to this ElectroPoration makes more than x2 improved dewatering with less energy cost(see end of section 42'Electroporation). Also "fraud treatment" lower cost version 110 exists in later pages
