How to Optimize Gas Flotation Of Petroleum Produced Water

• Operational Parameters: Maintain optimal air-to-water ratio (5-15%) and temperature (20-30°C) to enhance separation efficiency and bubble-particle adhesion.
• Chemical Selection: Choose compatible flocculants and coagulants, optimizing dosage through jar tests to promote aggregation of contaminants for easier removal.
• Equipment Upgrades: Install advanced diffusers for smaller, more uniform bubbles and perform regular maintenance to prevent clogging and ensure efficiency.
• Process Integration: Combine with pre-filtration or post-oxidation to enhance treated water quality for discharge or reuse standards.

Precise control of these factors significantly improves the effectiveness of gas flotation in treating petroleum produced water.
