How to Correctly Operate In-situ Air Flotation Equipment

2025-08-30

Equipment Operation Guide

1. Pre-Operation Preparation and Inspection

  • Check connections of all equipment components
  • Ensure pipeline valves open freely and are free of leaks or blockages
  • Clean debris inside and around the equipment
  • Ensure water inlet and outlet are clear
  • Check power supply, air supply, and chemical supply
  • Confirm control system displays normal operation
  • Verify all sensors are securely connected
  • Lubricate and inspect transmission components
  • Ensure scraper operates smoothly

2. Standard Startup Procedures

  • Start chemical dosing device first
  • Ensure stable chemical delivery at set rate
  • Start dissolved air system after chemical system
  • Gradually adjust pressure to specified range
  • Observe bubble formation until stable
  • Open water inlet valve and control flow rate
  • Increase water flow evenly to avoid impact
  • Start scraping equipment and adjust frequency
  • Match scraping rate to scum formation

3. Parameter Monitoring During Operation

  • Observe key parameters in control system
  • Monitor pressure and flow in real time
  • Ensure operation remains within reasonable range
  • Regularly check bubble morphology
  • Adjust dissolved air system if bubbles are too large, too small, or uneven
  • Monitor thickness and condition of scum layer
  • Adjust scraping frequency for timely removal
  • Prevent excessive accumulation that affects efficiency
  • Test inlet/outlet water quality at regular intervals
  • Fine-tune parameters based on test results

4. Important Points for Daily Operation

  • Keep equipment area clean and tidy
  • Prevent debris from entering treatment system
  • Follow specified mixing ratio for chemicals
  • Prevent overdosage or underdosage
  • Thoroughly clean dosing lines when changing chemicals
  • Observe equipment for abnormal noise or vibration
  • Immediately stop equipment if abnormalities detected
  • Do not disassemble components during operation
  • Perform maintenance with power off

5. Standardized Shutdown Procedures

  • Close the water inlet valve first
  • Continue operating chemical and air systems for adequate separation
  • Shut down systems after scum is largely removed
  • Shut down scraper, dissolved air system, and chemical dosing in sequence
  • Check that equipment is completely drained
  • Open drain valve to remove accumulated water if necessary
  • Clean equipment and surrounding area after shutdown
  • Record operating data and any abnormalities
  • Document issues for reference during next startup
Note: Always follow safety protocols and manufacturer guidelines when operating equipment. Regular maintenance and proper operation ensure optimal performance and longevity of the system.
