Generally, mineral oil, vegetable oil, surfactants, admixtures, and water constitute emulsion wastewater. There are many types of emulsions. According to the existing form of oil in water, emulsions can be divided into dispersed oil, floating oil, dissolved oil, and emulsified oil. As shown in the table below, various oil droplets have different particle sizes.
Oil type | oil slick | Dispersed oil | Emulsified oil | Dissolve oil |
Oil droplet size | >100μm | 10-100μm | 0.1-10μm | 0.1nm-0.1μm |
Characteristic | Easily floats on the surface of water to form an oil layer or film | Oil in this state is unstable and is easily stimulated by external conditions or becomes floating oil if left standing for a long time. |
The waste emulsion produced by the mechanical processing industry contains emulsifiers, mineral oil, preservatives, metal shavings, etc. It is a high-concentration organic wastewater that is difficult to degrade.
At home and abroad, waste emulsions with COD mass concentrations in the range of 1000~50000mg/L are commonly treated with chemical agents, demulsification, electrolysis, ultrafiltration and other methods. The demulsification methods are divided into acid demulsification, alkali demulsification, Demulsification by heating, demulsification by cooling, etc.
This project case introduces that the wastewater discharged by HANGZHOU ELECTROCHEMICAL NEW MATERIAL CO., LTD. during the production of PVC raw materials also contains a small amount of PVC fine particles. After the wastewater is pH-adjusted, coagulated, and flocculated, the fine particles are aggregated into larger flocs and recycled using high-efficiency dissolved air flotation, achieving good results.

READ MOREThis case introduces the Suma Park North Wastewater Treatment Plant Project, which uses a C-AAO combined biochemical pool + micro-flocculation filtration process, and the drainage complies with the town Class A standard. The raw water is treated with high-efficiency dissolved air flotation produced by our plant to remove more than 90% of SS. The reduced concentration of suspended solids can reduce the treatment load of the combined biochemical pool and improve the treatment efficiency.
