Common solutions to air flotation equipment failures

2025-04-16
The following are some common air flotation equipment failures and solutions:
1. Poor flotation effect
Reason: Failure of the dissolved air system, such as insufficient pressure in the dissolved air tank, uneven release of dissolved air water; abnormal dosing system, inaccurate dosage of the agent or failure of the agent; large fluctuations in the quality of the incoming water, too high concentration of pollutants or changes in composition.
Solution: Check the pressure regulating valve and dissolved air pump of the dissolved air tank to ensure that the pressure is stable within the appropriate range, and clean the blockage of the dissolved air water releaser; recalibrate the dosing pump, adjust the dosage of the agent according to the changes in water quality, and replace the failed agent; pre-treat the incoming water to stabilize the water quality, or adjust the operating parameters of the flotation equipment to adapt to the changes in water quality.
2. Failure of the scraper
Reason: The chain or belt of the scraper is loose or worn; the scraper plate is damaged or improperly installed; the motor fails.
Solution: Adjust the tension of the chain or belt, replace the severely worn parts; repair or replace the damaged scraper plate, ensure that it is installed in the correct position and keep a proper distance from the bottom of the flotation tank; check the wiring and insulation of the motor, and repair or replace the faulty motor.
3. Equipment leakage
Cause: The seals of the connection parts of the equipment are aging and damaged; the tank body is corroded and perforated; the pipeline is broken.
Solution: Replace the aging or damaged seals, such as sealing rings, gaskets, etc.; repair the corroded parts of the tank body or replace the damaged parts, and use anti-corrosion paint for protection; find the location of the pipeline rupture, weld and repair or replace the broken pipeline section.
4. Dissolved air pump failure
Cause: The impeller of the pump is worn and blocked; the bearing is damaged; the suction pipeline is leaking.

Solution: Clean the debris on the impeller, repair or replace the worn impeller; replace the damaged bearing; check the sealing of the suction pipeline and repair the leak.
