 Quality, Experience, Solutions
• ETS is your full service wastewater treatment solution

• For over 15 years ETS has employed its vast industry

experience into perfecting the water treatment process.

• We offer a full range of treatment options

• New equipment

• Repair/refurbishment of
existing equipment

• Technical Services.
Why Flotation ?
• Remove Oil and Suspended Solid Particles by Introducing
Large Volumes of Finely Disseminated Gas Bubbles into
Liquid

• Oil and Solid Particles become attached to Gas Bubbles

which Rise to the Surface for Removal
 IGF Principle of Operation

• Gravity Separation Process

Whereby a Gas Bubble is
caused to Collide with and
Attach to a Separable Specie
(OIL & Solid Particles)

• A Buoyant Effect Will Occur

Causing the Particles to Rise
to the Liquid Surface For
Removal
Main Factors of a Successful IGF System

• Lowest Inlet Oil Concentration

• Retention Time

• Maximize Gasification

• Minimum Recirculation

• Stable Region for Floatable Oil to Rise

• Chemical Treatment Program

• Efficient Froth Removal System

Retention Time
• Minimum Retention Time 4-5 Minutes at Capacity
• Ensure Flow Rates Operate Below Units Capacity
• Solids and Sludge can Reduce Volume therefore Reducing
Retention Time
Maximum Gasification

• Adequate Gas Blanket

• Eliminates Gas Leaks

• Gas Intakes is Clear and Free of Debris

• Minimize Internal Scale and Sludge.

 Sufficient Water Recirculation
• All Four (4) Agitators Operating
• Agitators Operating within Manufactures Specification
• Agitator Internals free of Scale and Debris.
– Rotors
– Disperser
– Disperser Hood
Stable Region To Allow Floatable Oil to Rise

• Regulate Induced Gas To Provide Stable Region

• Normal Operating Level Should be Above Mixing Region

Efficient Froth Removal System
• Properly Adjusted Skimmer System

• Stable Operating Level

• Proper Choice and Operation of Instrumentation

• Adequate Means of Removal from System
