What’s truly amazing is, what you can do with microbubbles.
The secret of enviplan® microflotation is the generation of homogenous microbubbles and laminar flow conditions. With the development of the revolutionary and internationally patented AQUATECTOR® Microfloat®, we offer an unrivaled fine-bubble physical separation process.
Dense, homogeneous microbubbles generate extremely high interphases and enable in most cases separation of almost 100 % of filterable matter and even settleable matters.
At the same time, AQUATECTOR® Microfloat® systems attain extremely high dry matter contents in the separated flotation sludge. At an operational pressure of less than 3 bar, the AQUATECTOR® pressure saturation process continuously generates microbubbles with a diameter of 30 – 50 μm.
They form a fog-like filter cushion and finely microfloat suspended and solid matter.

A problem of Standard DAF Units: Unstable Bubbles.
You see a collision of two air bubbles with a diameter of 100µm – a representative diameter of a standard DAF. The air bubble on the right has solid adherence. During the collision a significant amount of the arduous gathered solids scale of! All the outlay, energy and work to saturate the air in water and to release it finally – Wasted! Because the bubbles aren’t stable enough due to the greater diameter.You see a collision of two air bubbles with a diameter of 100µm – a representative diameter of a standard DAF.

The superior enviplan® Microbubbles. Stable at any time.
This is a collision of two air bubbles with a diameter of 50µm – representative diameter of an enviplan® Microfloat® Microflotation. Again, the air bubble on the right has solid adherence. Do you see any solids scale of?
