Abstract
Description
Background of the invention
[0001] [Paragraph 1] The present invention relates generally to wastewater treatment. More specifically, the present invention relates to control systems and methods for wastewater treatment, including control of monitoring and adjusting mixing time, mixing energy, and the amount of chemicals in wastewater to optimize waste removal from a constantly changing liquid stream via a unique flotation system system.
[0002] [Paragraph 2] Industrial wastewater treatment presents many challenges to current technologies. Contaminants are usually in the form of suspended solids. Such solids range in size from macroscopic (inches to hundreds of microns) to colloidal (submicron) to nanoscale particles. Immiscible oils and other lipophilic substances (called hydrophobic substances) are also sometimes present and are emulsified (solubilized) with the addition of suitable emulsifiers - surfactants (detergents) or surface-active polymers. Cost-effective, reliab...
