Flotator
Flotation is a type of adsorption and bubble separation, based on the formation of pop-up impurities agglomerates with dispersed gas phase and their subsequent separation in the form of sludge.
Flotator is an open container, which consists of three main chambers:
- reception of sewage and flotation chamber;
- diversion of purified water chamber;
- sludge removal chamber.
The flotator is made of stainless or carbon steel or with corrosion-resistant coating of a polymeric material. The flotator is ready to use with shut-off and control valves and a remote control.
The water in flotator is cleaned in four stages:
- the formation of dissolved bubbles of air;
- adsorption of air bubbles on the surface of impurities;
- formation of flotation complex with further flotation;
- flotation sludge removal.
The flotator provides local wastewater purification from the main types of pollution:
- fats;
- oils;
- suspended solids;
- petroleum products;
- organic impurities;
- surfactants and other contaminants.
Flotators are used for purification of:
- wastewater of food, pulp and paper, petrochemical, chemical, oil and fat, textile, metallurgical industries, slaughtering shops, etc.;
- stormwater of enterprises, petroleum storage facilities, etc.;
- wastewater from washing cars, machines, parts, containers, etc.;
- pre-treatment prior to biological water treatment systems.
