Flotation Aids
Improve Flotation Separation in Water Treatment
Control interfacial behavior to increase contaminant removal, stability, and efficiency in flotation systems
The LOCUS ADVANTAGE
Break emulsions and enhance oil/water separation
Stabilize performance across variable influent conditions
Reduce chemical demand and total treatment cost
Flotation aids performance in water treatment depends on how particles, oils, and contaminants interact with bubbles and chemistry. Amphi® biosurfactants improve attachment, separation efficiency, and stability, helping industrial flotation systems remove more contaminants while reducing chemical demand and variability.
The Challenge
Why separation performance breaks down in water treatment systems
Flotation systems operate under variable conditions that impact separation performance. Changes in water chemistry, pH, contaminant load, and process conditions reduce bubble-particle interaction, limit separation efficiency, and increase chemical demand. These challenges create inconsistent recovery and higher operating costs.
