An Induced Gas Flotation (IGF) machine is a water treatment device that utilizes the flotation characteristics of air bubbles (Yiantos, Citation 2007). The working principle of an IGF is that air bubbles are directly injected into the vessel and forced through a flow passage. Then, the discharged air spreads through the entire IGF vessel via a ...
Induced Gas Flotation (IGF) IGF unit is an accelerated gravitational separation technique in which gas bubbles are induced into a water phase stream either by the use of an eductor device or by a vortex set up by mechanical rotor (impeller).
