Why Efficient Concentrated Air Flotation Effectively Removes Suspended Solids

Efficient concentrated air flotation uses a specialized air dissolution and release mechanism to produce a higher concentration of microbubbles with more uniform sizes.

• These bubbles have a larger surface area, significantly increasing their probability of contact with suspended solids in the water
• High-concentration bubbles form a denser "bubble network," reducing the possibility of suspended solids escaping
• Particularly effective for capturing small, lightweight suspended particles

This enhanced capture efficiency lays the foundation for subsequent separation processes.

This technology is often combined with an optimized flocculation process. By precisely controlling flocculant dosage and reaction conditions, suspended solids form flocs with stable structure and optimal density.

• Flocs are larger in size with stronger surface adsorption capacity
• Enhanced efficiency in binding to microbubbles
• Flocculation reduces hydrophilicity of suspended solids
• Prevents bubble detachment during ascent

These improvements collectively enhance the separation efficiency of suspended solids.

High-efficiency concentrated flotation utilizes a specially designed tank structure and water flow path to effectively control water flow velocity and distribution uniformity.

• Water maintains steady, slow flow within the separation zone
• Prevents suspended matter from being swept down due to turbulent flow
• Optimal water distribution ensures uniform loading across the separation zone
• Eliminates dead zones where water flow is excessively fast

This optimization ensures sufficient contact between suspended matter and bubbles and promotes stable upward floatation.

Compared to conventional flotation technology, high-efficiency concentrated flotation not only removes suspended matter but also efficiently concentrates scum.

• Scum formed has lower water content and higher density
• Reduces total scum volume and eases disposal difficulty
• Prevents excess water carryover into scum
• Avoids secondary loss of suspended matter

This simultaneous "removal + concentration" process improves suspended matter treatment efficiency and enhances overall process economy.
