Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9831634A1] Method for purifying a liquid by means of flotation at which the water to be cleaned as well as the dispersion water (or liquid) is fed to the lower part of a first long and narrow standing preferably cylindrical vessel (23) whereby in the water column defined by the form of the vessel a rising water current is achieved which gives to the particles or flocculations in the water column a rising movement which movement increases the flotation effect of the micro bubbles which are created at the dispersion nozzle as well as during the successive decrease in pressure which takes place in the water column and which bubbles by means of the design of the vessel will be given a high concentration, which vessel (23) at least at its upper open end is surrounded by a second open vessel (22) the edges of which reach higher than the upper edge of said first vessel (23) and at the lower part of which a pipe joint (32) is arranged for the outflow of the cleaned liquid and at the upper part of which a third vessel (29) is arranged for receiving of the separated impurities from the second vessel (22).
