How Cavitation Air Flotation Removes Grease from Wastewater

2025-08-20

Cavitation Air Flotation Technology

1. Cavitation Effect Generates Microbubbles

  • Cavitation Air Flotation uses a special device to create a cavitation effect
  • Forms a large number of tiny bubbles in the water
  • Water flows through a specific structure, creating localized low-pressure zones
  • Dissolved gases release and form tiny, evenly distributed bubbles
  • Large surface area provides ample attachment for grease adsorption

2. Bubble-Grease Adsorption

  • Grease in wastewater exists as tiny, hydrophobic droplets
  • Microbubble surfaces also have hydrophobic properties
  • Oil droplets and bubbles collide and contact through water flow
  • Surface tension and hydrophobic interactions cause adhesion
  • Active substances on bubble surfaces enhance grease capture

3. Bubble-Carrying Oil Floatation

  • Bubbles with adsorbed grease float upward due to buoyancy
  • Some bubbles coalesce to form larger bubble groups
  • Oil-containing bubbles gather on water surface
  • Forms a stable scum layer separating oil from water

4. Scum Removal and Effluent Purification

  • Oil-containing scum is removed by scraping/skimming equipment
  • Oil content in water is significantly reduced
  • Remaining tiny oil droplets undergo further purification
  • Cavitation effect continuously generates bubbles for stable separation
