Abstract

A dissolved gas flotation system for treatment of wastewater or contaminated water and having an improved flow pattern wherein the subnatant discharge outlet and the inlet distribution structures are located adjacent one another. Such a structural design takes advantage of the fluid flow patterns within the tank to maximize the effect of the air bubbles in separating solids from the fluid.
