Operating Principle:The polluted water (1) is mixed with air, optionally with an air/ ozone mixture through the injector (2) and
pumped tangentially into the reaction chamber (3) where vortexing causes turbulence and intimate mixing of water and air bubbles. Solids and
proteins are concentrated and loaded with innumerable fine gas bubbles (large surface).
Proteins with lower
specific weight than water are the first to flow upwards through the internal riser (4). Solids become attached to the already
protein-loaded gas bubbles and also flow upwards.
The specifically heavier protein compounds are entrained by the water flowing into the separating tube (5) where they can be picked up by
the gas bubbles. The bubbles even flow to the cone (6), where the flow is disrupted and the loaded gas bubbles also move upwards.
In this way, the pollutants are passed into the collecting cup (7) as a highly concentrated foam due to the upward movement of the gas
particles and are removed from there as flotate.
The treated water, on the other hand, flows into the reactor outer tube (8) and is available as purified water at the outlet (9).
Excess gas is passed through an ozone annihilator (active cole) (10) so that any unused ozone is catalytically decomposed.
