IDRAFLOT ™
New generation flotation unit
Very compact, these units reach a high
thickening and clarification grade allowing
ultra-flotation with the highest removal
efficiency on COD, suspended solids and fat.
IDRAFLOT™ is a rectangular compact unit,
easily transportable, manufactured entirely
in stainless steel. It is provided with lamellar
packs, to achieve high treatment capacity
compared to its compact size, telescopic level
adjustment to optimize the sludge extraction
with dry matter up to 8%.
IDRAFLOT™ flotation units are protected by
three patents. They are intended to assure a
perfect mixing of the waste with saturated
water and an uniform distribution of the
water flow along the entire surface of the
unit.
The saturation system warrants a complete
and even saturation free from the formation
of big bubbles.
The reactor allows to sample and optimize
the desired parameters through a very
simple adjustment of chemicals (coagulant/
flocculant). �
IDRAFLOT™ is suitable:
• As pretreatment upstream of
a biological plant to remove
biodegradable fats, suspended solids,
fibres, etc. The efficiency is up to
98% with consequent COD drop of
between 70% - 80%.
• As a clarification plant downstream
of a biological plant to remove light
sludge particles not captured by
secondary decanters.
• For tertiary treatment
• For sludge thickener
• For liquid/solid separation in
industrial process plants (pulp
& paper, wine, etc.), Idraflot™ is
the best solution to potentiate
surcharged or undersized plants.
