Hydrocell® Induced Gas
Flotation Separators
Innovative, Energy-Efficient Oil/Solids Separation The Hydrocell® separator has been engineered to provide
the most efficient means of removing oil and suspended
Hydrocell® separators are used in many applications, both
solids from water in large volumes. Combining 95 percent
on- and off-shore, including:
efficiency with high throughput, these units can process
processing oil field produced water solids and oils from 50 ppm to several hundred ppm, with
processing plant wastewater effluents prior to biological product effluents containing less than 5 ppm.
treatment or discharge to public waterways The choice for a wide range of industries, our induced air
tank and drum reconditioning plant applications flotation (IAF), or induced gas floatation (IGF) separators are
innovative, adaptable and affordable.
ballast/bilge water processing
The Hydrocell® separator is ideal for use where oil/water

separation is required in large volumes, or where other
pulp and paper white water organic matter must be removed from water or industrial
de-inking wastewater effluents. For the removal of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) from wastewater streams, we also offer gas-tight
vegetable oil and tail oil processing and pressurized designs.

Induced air flotation technology offers exceptional efficiency
because the contaminants have eight to 12 opportunities to
come in contact with the bubbles, compared to a single
chance in a dissolved air unit.
Hydrocell® Separator Operation
The Hydrocell® separator operates on a low energy, low
capital cost, hydraulic gas induction principle to process
streams that are characterized by the presence of mostly
free oil, non-dissolved solids, and the absence of any
emulsifying agents such as soaps and caustics.
In the Hydrocell® system design, a single pump is used to
drive four patented air (gas) eductors, rather than having
separate motor-driven impellers for each cell. With no
