Krofta Sandfloat : Flocculation, Flotation and Filtration in one

Krofta Sandfloat: A Revolution in Compact Efficiency

The Krofta Sandfloat is a unique solution combining three critical water treatment processes: flocculation, flotation, and filtration, into a single, compact system. This integration allows facilities to meet stringent water quality requirements while saving space, time, and operational costs. Each process plays a pivotal role:

Flocculation: Optimizes the aggregation of fine particles into larger flocs using advanced mixing techniques and chemical dosing.
Flotation: Employs the patented Air Dissolving Tube (ADT) to generate microbubbles that attach to flocculated solids, lifting them to the surface for easy removal.
Filtration: Utilizes high-performance media beds to remove remaining suspended particles, producing water of exceptional clarity.

A unique all-in-one design

What sets the Krofta Sandfloat apart is its compact, all-in-one design, dramatically reducing space requirements and installation costs. Its continuous online backwash ensures uninterrupted operation, making it an ideal choice for industries needing consistent, high-quality water treatment.

The system’s adaptability to various filtration media and hydraulic capacities further underscores its versatility.

Key Features

Continuous Backwash: Ensures uninterrupted operation and high throughput.
Compact Design: Stainless steel construction with minimal footprint.
Versatile Applications: From potable water to industrial wastewater polishing.v

How the Krofta Sandfloat works

Flocculation Chamber: Raw water mixed with flocculants is introduced into the flocculation chamber, where precise mixing ensures the aggregation of fine particles into larger, settleable flocs.
Air Dissolving Tube (ADT): Aerated water from the patented ADT enters the flotation zone. The ADT produces uniform microbubbles that attach to flocculated solids, improving separation efficiency.
Flotation Zone: The combined flow moves through a specialized baffle system that reduces turbulence. Microbubbles lift the flocculated solids to the surface, creating a sludge layer.
Sludge Removal: A spiral scoop continuously removes floated sludge from the surface, depositing it into a sludge hopper for collection and disposal.
Filtration Media: Below the flotation zone, high-performance filter beds remove remaining suspended particles, polishing the clarified water for discharge or reuse.
Continuous Backwash: Individual filtration segments undergo backwashing without disrupting the operation. This ensures sustained filtration efficiency and prevents media clogging.
Effluent Collection: The clarified and filtered water is collected and discharged through a central outlet, meeting the highest water quality standards.
Advanced Filtration Media: Options for sand, anthracite, and multi-media configurations to suit specific needs.
Self-Sufficient Design: Integrated recycle system minimizes water loss and optimizes performance.
