Air Flotation Separators. In the air flotation
process, separation of both oil and solid particles is brought
about by introducing fine air bubbles into the liquid waste
stream. The bubbles attach to the particulate matter and oil
droplets, and the buoyant force of the air bubbles causes both
particles and small oil droplets to rise to the surface. The
oil/solids/air bubble mixture forms a froth layer at the surface,
which is skimmed away.
