Italy Flotation Plant: 20% Less Chemical, Clearer Water

Home 9 Case Studies and Results 9 Italy Flotation Plant: 20% Less Chemical, Clearer Water
Key results
20% chemical reduction
76 to 43 NTU turbidity drop
18 month ROI payback

Case Study from HydroFLOW Italy

The Challenges

  • High turbidity in discharge water
  • Heavy reliance on polyelectrolyte dosing
  • Inconsistent output with turbidity peaks
  • Need to improve efficiency without more chemicals

The Solution

One HydroFLOW® P60 unit was fitted to the input line to the flotation unit before chemical dosing in July 2013. The signal improves flocculation, so solids separate more efficiently, cutting polyelectrolyte demand and lowering discharge turbidity.

Key Outcomes
