Abstract
A liquid treatment system and method for removing contaminants from a liquid flow are disclosed. A treatment system comprising a treatment zone, a nanobubble diffuser system, and a skimmer cassette assembly is configured to remove nanobubbles and clumps of contaminants from a liquid flow. Nanobubbles are attached to positively charged contaminants by a nanobubble diffuser system configured to diffuse negatively charged nanobubbles into the liquid flow, and clumps of nanobubbles and contaminants are prompted to float toward the surface of the liquid flow in the treatment zone and are removed by the skimmer cassette assembly. In some embodiments, larger bubbles are provided to increase the rising velocity of the contaminants. In some embodiments, the treatment system is a floating vessel. In some embodiments, the treatment system is configured to remove microplastics with a size of about 1 mm or less.
