Flotation System

Industrial Flotation Systems

THE flotation system It is one of the most effective technologies for separating oils, greases, and suspended solids from industrial effluent streams. Based on the principle of density difference, the process uses the introduction of microbubbles of gas that adhere to the contaminants, accelerating their ascent and allowing for continuous and precise removal of the oily phase.

THE TSL Engineering and Services has a solid track record in the sizing, supply and maintenance of flotation systems, offering solutions that guarantee compliance with the strictest environmental disposal and reinjection standards.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between DGF and IGF flotation?

In DGF (dissolved gas flotation), the fluid is pressurized to dissolve the gas, which is then released as microbubbles from 1 µm, favoring fine particles and emulsified oils. In IGF (induced gas flotation), the gas is mechanically induced into the flow, a solution suited to large processing volumes.

When should a compact flotation unit (CFU) be used?

In space-constrained operations such as FPSOs. CFUs reduce installed weight by up to 80% compared with conventional systems, while maintaining separation performance.

What oil content do TSL's flotation systems achieve?

The systems are designed to achieve oil content (TOG, oil and grease) below 20 ppm.

Does TSL service existing flotation systems?

Yes. TSL carries out maintenance, internal chemical cleaning of vessels and operational efficiency recovery (revamp) on existing systems.
