„The microflotation pilot plant has generated a lot of interest across Thames Water. This technology could be a real game-changer for the wastewater industry.”
The secret of the patented microflotation is the generation of homogeneous microbubbles and laminar flow conditions. With the development of the revolutionary and internationally patented AQUATECTOR Microfloat® microflotation, we offer an unrivaled fine bubble physical separation process.
Dense, homogeneous microbubbles generate extremely high phase interfaces and in most cases enable separation of almost 100% of settleable and filterable substances. At the same time, AQUATECTOR Microfloat® systems achieve extremely high dry solids contents in the separated flotation sludge.
At an operating pressure of less than 3 bar, the AQUATECTOR® pressure saturation process continuously generates microbubbles with a diameter of 30 – 50 μm. They form a mist-like bubble cloud. The energy consumption of a typical AQUATECTOR Microfloat® system starts at 7Wh/m3
