Induced gas flotation, or IGF, is a water treatment process that clarifies wastewaters (or other waters) by the removal of suspended matter such as oil or solids. The removal is achieved by injecting gas bubbles into the water or wastewater in a flotation tank or basin.
In the induced gas flotation (IGF) (or IAF) process, which resembles the design of a subaeration minerals flotation cell (see Figure 2), bubbles are induced mechanically. IGF uses a star-shaped impeller to generate intense local turbulence. This results in subatmospheric pressures being generated in the region surrounding the …

Induced Gas Flotation is very widely used in treating the industrial wastewater effluents from oil refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants, natural gas processing plants and similar industrial facilities. IGF Units in the oil industry do not use air as the flotation medium due to the explosion risk. These IGF Units use nitrogen gas to ...
This process is called dissolved gas flotation ( DAF). However, in minerallurgy and in the oil industry, when air or any other gas is dispersed and produce fine bubbles measuring 0.2 to 2 mm in diameter, this is termed induced air flotation ( IAF ) or induced gas floatation ( IGF ). relationship between design and bubble velocity
Induced gas flotation (IGF) is a treatment process that clarifies wastewaters (or other waters) by the removal of suspended oil.The removal is achieved by introducing very small bubbles of air or other gases into the water or wastewater.
