The routine Physico chemical characteristics viz., COD, BOD5, Nitrate, Phosphate, Electrical conductivity, TDS and pH were considered to evaluate the treatment efficiencies. A glass reactor of capacity 1.3 L with a working volume of 1 L into which electrodes were immersed was used. Reactor operating conditions was contact period and potential applied across the electrode (5, 10, 15V). Two Electrode configurations with Fe-Al and four electrode configuration with Fe-Al-Fe-Al were considered. The promising results were obtained in removal of considered parameters with increase in number of electrodes. For 4 electrode configuration with 30min contact period, removal efficiency of PO4, NO3 and COD were 94%, 86% and 98% respectively. BOD5 removal was higher than 80% for both 2 and 4 electrode configuration employed.
