The small bubbles adhere to the suspended matter causing the suspended matter to float to the surface of the water where it may then be removed by a skimming device. Induced gas flotation is very widely used in treating the industrial wastewater effluents from oil refineries , petrochemical and chemical plants , natural gas processing plants ...
Activated sludge tank at Beckton sewage treatment plant, UK.The white bubbles are due to the diffused air aeration system. The activated sludge process is a type of biological wastewater treatment process for treating sewage or industrial wastewaters using aeration and a biological floc composed of bacteria and protozoa.
Bubbles of methane, created by methanogens, that are present in the marsh, more commonly known as marsh gas. Marsh gas, also known as swamp gas or bog gas, is a mixture primarily of methane and smaller amounts of hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and trace phosphine that is produced naturally within some geographical marshes, swamps, and bogs.
A very similar process known as induced gas flotation is also used for wastewater treatment. Froth flotation is commonly used in the processing of mineral ores. In the oil industry, dissolved gas flotation (DGF) units do not use air as the flotation medium due to the explosion risk. Nitrogen gas is used instead to create the bubbles.
A natural-gas processing plant in Aderklaa, Austria. Natural-gas processing is a range of industrial processes designed to purify raw natural gas by removing contaminants such as solids, water, carbon dioxide (CO 2), hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), mercury and higher molecular mass hydrocarbons to produce pipeline quality dry natural gas [1] for pipeline distribution and final use.

Wastewater plants are failing to remove a group of potentially toxic chemicals before pumping treated water into rivers and lakes — and climate change may be making the situation even worse, a ...
Three wastewater/sewage clarifiers at the ʻAikahi wastewater treatment plant in Hawaii. They appear to have a floating cover [dubious – discuss] to reduce the odor because the plant is very close to a residential area. Circular clarifier with surface skimmer visible in the lower right.
The verdict when it comes to if Gatorade is hydrating is this: It absolutely does hydrate the body and can even do so more effectively than water. But that doesn’t mean you should drink it ...
