Flotation-Filtration System for Refining - Oil, Gas & Refineries - Refineries
Benefits
Fast Return On Investment
Lower investment and operating costs and 90% less energy consumption than competing technologies. The average payback time of our systems is between 12 and 18 months.
Our systems are fully automated and require minimal oversight. Additionally, the use of novel ceramic membranes translates into minimal maintenance and maximal uptime.
The integrated and modular approach of akvoFloat™ makes it unrivalled in terms of footprint and flexibility – our systems can grow as your needs grow.

Application
Wastewater Discharge
Non-compliance with discharge limits due to oil, TSS, organics, metals or any hard-to-treat contaminants.
Use akvoFloat™ to improve primary or tertiary treatment with the most cost-effective technology.
Tank Dewatering Effluent
High crude oil concentrations from tanks endanger WWTP performance.
Use akvoFloat™ to remove excessive oil from segregated effluent, previous to sending it to the WWTP.
Desalter Effluent
Oil carry-over in desalter brine. High hydrocarbons (i.e. benzene) and oil concentrations in this effluent create problems in the operation of the WWTP.
Use akvoFloat™ to remove excessive oil/emulsions of the segregated effluent previous to sending it to the WWTP.
Biological Contamination
Ineffective oil and TSS removal create problems for the Biological Treatment.
Use akvoFloat™ to improve removal of oils and TSS.
Wastewater Reuse
Pretreatment before desalination (RO/EDR) doen’t meet required feed water quality.
Use akvoFloat™ as a pretreatment technology in order to eliminate oils, TSS, metals and other contaminants with the right CAPEX/OPEX balance.
Reformer Performance
Poor water separation in the low pressure separator.
Use akvoFloat™ to improve water separation (demulsifier).
Slop Re-Processing
Low hydrocarbon recovery from slop water.
Use akvoFloat™ to recover free, dispersed and emulsified oils.
