Flotation is a century-old water treatment process in which gas is introduced to a pressurized liquid, generating a buoyant force and resulting in flotation of suspended matter such as fats, oils, greases and suspended solids.
Aeration is used in water and wastewater treatment processes to deliver oxygen to microorganisms responsible for the biological oxidation of carbonaceous material and ammonia.
