    The UNICEL vertical IGF (Induced gas Flotation) system is a leading technology for environmentally safe treatment of secondary produced waters. The process involves introducing gas into the wastewater inlet stream via an eductor, coalescing the oil / solids, releasing the water in a separation vessel, skimming the "floated" oil and solids from the surface of the vessel and discharging clarified effluent from the bottom of the vessel.

    UNICEL Vertical IGF

    WATER

    Proven Efcient Induced Gas Flotation Systems


    A high-efficiency, vertical hydraulic flotation machine for removing oil and suspended solids from produced and waste waters.

    Overview
    The UNICEL Vertical IGF (Induced Gas Flotation) System is a leading technology for environmentally safe treatment of secondary produced waters. The UNICEL system is a simple, hydraulically operated gas flotation machine that delivers efficient oil/water separation with complete process containment. Effective oil recovery and water treatment are achieved simply and economically, with operator and environmental safety ensured by the completely enclosed flotation process. Units are a vertical design which is wellsuited for locations where space restrictions require a small footprint and are unaffected in floating production systems.

    Operating Principle and Key Features


    The UNICEL Vertical Induced Gas Flotation (IGF) unit is designed for maximum efficiency and simplicity for reliable, low maintenance operation and is ideally suited for floating production applications. The UNICEL process involves introducing gas into the wastewater inlet stream via an eductor, coalescing the oil/solids, releasing the water in a separation vessel, skimming the floated oil and solids from the surface of the vessel and then discharging clarified effluent from the bottom of the vessel. The UNICEL Vertical
    IGF combines all of these actions in a unique vertical design

    mechanism where very small micron size microbubbles are formed and uniformly distributed. This ensures that gas is entrained into the entire feed stream. The bubbles then attach to the oil and solids particles present. This stream passes through a baffle section within the separator vessel central riser at a reduced velocity. This allows the gas and oil/solids particles to flocculate together prior to being released at the surface of the vessel. The oil/solids floc is radially dispersed towards the outer rim of the vessel. The oil is periodically skimmed from the vessel into the skim trough by raising the operating level to a point just above the skim trough. As the liquid level rises, it spills over into the oil trough. When the skim cycle is complete, the level set point is reset and the unit returns to normal operation automatically. The main advantage to this intermittent skimming system is the oil skim rate is reduced to approximately 1% of the average daily flow versus 5 to 10% if a continuous skim is used. This means a lot less water has to be reprocessed. This is particularly important in floating applications where this rate can be even higher due to the motion inside the vessel caused by
    FPSO/SPAR movement. With the intermittent skim control,

    which incorporates the principles of stokes law by using finely dispersed gas microbubbles to reduce the apparent density of the oil and solids, increase their droplet size and greatly increase buoyancy through coalescence. The vertical annular riser eliminates the potential for short circuit flow found in some horizontal designs, and combines column flotation technology with its downflow design, which promotes flotation of oil at the surface. The UNICEL process begins by providing pressurized water to a venturi-type eductor. Pressurized water passing through the eductor creates a vacuum at the air/gas suction port, whereby the air/gas stream is induced into the water stream. The mixture is combined with the incoming wastewater stream and then passes through a dispersing

    the rate is constant.
