Flotodecantador
Linsul develops the Flotodecantador for the treatment of highly complex industrial wastewater, combining dissolved air flotation (DAF) and settling processes in a single piece of equipment, ensuring maximum efficiency in separating solids, oils, greases and suspended materials.
This system was designed for operations that require high performance, reliability and robustness, providing efficient separation of light and heavy materials under different operating conditions.
Integration of technologies for maximum efficiency
By integrating flotation and settling technologies, the Flotodecantador performs three-phase separation (settleable solids, floating materials and liquid phase), optimizing the treatment process and reducing the need for multiple pieces of equipment at the plant.
This approach makes the system more efficient, compact and economical, making it ideal for industries seeking higher performance with a smaller physical footprint.
Technology and continuous evolution
With its own technology and constant engineering evolution, Linsul has refined the concept over the years, delivering highly efficient, durable equipment adapted to the current needs of the industrial market.
Continuous development ensures greater operational reliability and better performance under different application conditions.
High performance in wastewater treatment
In addition, the system can operate in both physical and physicochemical processes, broadening its applicability and efficiency in removing contaminants.
The Flotodecantador is highly efficient at removing oils and greases, reaching rates of up to 90%, and it also contributes significantly to reducing the organic load of the wastewater.
Operating capacity
The equipment meets different industrial demands, with a wide operating range:
Available capacity: 5.0 to 400 m³/h.

Applications
The Flotodecantador is recommended for industrial wastewater treatment processes with a high organic load and the presence of oils, greases and suspended solids, and is widely used in different segments.
The main applications include:
Treatment of industrial wastewater with a high concentration of oils and greases
Replacement of secondary clarifiers in biological systems (activated sludge)
Separation of solids with varying density in complex wastewater
Treatment of wastewater from meatpacking and protein processing (beef, pork and poultry)
Food and beverage industry
Pulp and paper industry
Animal rendering and organic waste processing
Chemical and petrochemical industry
Treatment of leachate and sanitary wastewater
Advanced water reuse systems
Settling
The settling stage in the Flotodecantador is responsible for separating the settleable solids present in the wastewater.
This process takes place through the natural sedimentation of denser particles and can be enhanced by applying coagulants and polymers when necessary.
With the formation of denser flocs, the sedimentation process accelerates, significantly increasing solid-liquid separation efficiency.
In physicochemical processes, the system can achieve high performance levels, with 95% to 99% removal of oils and greases and an 80% to 95% reduction in organic load (BOD and COD).
This stage contributes directly to system stability and to improved treated effluent quality.
Flotation
The flotation stage is responsible for separating light materials and suspended particles, using microbubble generation technology.
By injecting microbubbles into the system, the bubbles attach to the particles in the wastewater, reducing their density and making them rise to the surface of the equipment.
This process forms a layer of floated material, which is continuously removed by scraping systems, ensuring process efficiency.
The dissolved air flotation (DAF) technology applied by Linsul ensures high efficiency in separating oils, greases and light solids, contributing to more complete and efficient treatment.
