Induced Gas Flotation (IGF)

Overview

IGF uses a high-energy vortex to induce and shear gas into micro-bubbles without a pressurisation system. It is the proven workhorse for produced water, refinery and high-temperature oily wastewater.

How It Works

Process flow and treatment mechanism in simple steps:

1. 1

   Wastewater enters flotation cells with mechanical or hydraulic gas induction.

2. 2

   A vortex shears gas into fine bubbles that attach to oil droplets.

3. 3

   Oil and solids rise as froth and are skimmed from the surface.

4. 4

   Treated water exits for discharge, reuse or downstream polishing.

Applications

Industries and situations where this product is ideal:

• Oil and gas produced water
• Offshore platforms
• Refineries and petrochemical plants
• Ballast water treatment

Technical Highlights

Sizes, flow capacities, material options and design notes:

• 90–95% free and emulsified oil removal
• Handles hot, high-pressure oily water where DAF cannot operate
• Mechanical or hydraulic gas induction options
• Robust construction for continuous refinery duty

Specifications are indicative. Final design is engineered to your effluent and site conditions.
