Free and emulsified oil removal by bubble accelerated flotation (BAF) |
Date |
1999 |
Description |
Operational data from full-scale field applications and pilot tests using the Bubble Accelerated Flotation ( B A R system for the treatment of wastewater are presented. The compact BAF system based on the air-sparged hydrocyclone technology was designed to remove pollutants from industrial waste and process water. Crude oil and vegetable oil levels in water were reduced non-chemically by 61-66% and with pH control and flocculants - above The system was effective al low starting concentration of oil (<10 PPM) and effective in the removal of oil al initial concentrations >3%. Similar reductions were recorded for TSS and microbiological agents in a wide variety of industrial process and wastewater. Due lo high air/water ratio, small bubble size, and rapid removal of air from the system. VOCs were also effectively removed. |
