Abstract
An electrolytic flotation system (10) for removing foreign matter from waste water includes a plurality of planar electrodes (32 and 34) in a flotation tank (12). The electrodes are arranged so that they distribute the production of microbubbles uniformly throughout a large region of the flotation zone (30). Furthermore, the planes in which the electrodes lie are substantially parallel to the flow path between the inlet (14) and the outlet (16) of the tank (12). As a consequence, efficient removal of foreign matter occurs with a relatively low detention time.
