The MCL ECOFLOT GREASE REMOVAL SYSTEM is designed to remove oils and greases, as well as suspended solids, through a dissolved air flotation (microbubble) system, without prior coagulation/flocculation.
Its longer detention time promotes the oxidation of organic matter, reducing important parameters such as BOD, COD, and TSS in an ecological and economical way, without the use of chemical products.
Widely used in the food, dairy, meatpacking, and tanning industries, it can offer customers a byproduct option for use in soap or fertilizer manufacturing.
The need to remove grease from effluents is driven by the problems it causes to the units of a treatment system.
Therefore, its removal aims to prevent clogging and buildup on equipment, avoid accumulation in subsequent stages that can cause unpleasant odors, and improve visual aspects, especially when discharging into receiving water bodies.
In the MCL ECOFLOT GREASE REMOVAL SYSTEM, the effluent receives an injection of microbubbles, which capture the grease present in the effluent and carry it to the surface of the equipment, where it is removed by scrapers and directed through piping to a receiving tank. The effluent free of suspended grease, also called clarified effluent, flows by gravity to the weir, continuing along the plant's route to the other treatment systems.
