Technical details of the FBR (Flotation Bio Reactor)
Exceptional efficiency
The design has an optimal inlet distribution, a controlled micro air bubble formation and plate packs increasing the surface area and therefore the separation efficiency. Multi-point microbubble formation inside the FBR to limit coalescence of micro air bubbles to an absolute minimum.
Simple to use
Automatic micro air bubble expansion injector flush & readjustment system.
Automatic sediment discharge
Bottom of the flotation unit has a sludge auger which automatically discharges the sediment.
Relatively dry sludge
The sludge particles float to the water surface of the flotation unit, from where it is removed by means of a scraper system and transported to the sludge hopper of the flotation unit. The static thickener and low speed scraper drive allow effective water drainage from the sludge.
Self-cleaning aeration nozzles
- Automatic, timer controlled opening of the aeration valves prevents internal build-up of pollution, thus preventing loss of aeration capacity and enhancing operational continuity
- Cleaning sequence adjustable by timer, to adjust for variations in cleaning requirements
- The system eliminates the need for frequent operator intervention, hereby increasing operational security
- Very quick start-up
