The process of fractionation filtration is both straightforward and remarkably efficient. Air, and sometimes even ozone, are introduced into the lower section of the reaction chamber through an ozone-resistant venturi injector. Concurrently, the water that requires filtration enters from the upper portion of the chamber and makes its way to the lower parts before exiting. This dynamic setup induces a significant intermingling of substances, as the water’s course intersects with that of the air.

Fractionators remove organic compounds like proteins from water by coalescence of proteins and organics with the help of ozonation where particles are small or if the system is in need of a capacity boost. Fractionators are an effective tool for separating protein (or similar) from particular types of wastewater or treatment process normally found in aquaculture or other aquatic environments.

Fractionators operate as reaction vessels with foam traps with mechanical separation, creating a clean effluent which can be recirculated in the water treatment cycle or be subjected to further treatment. Concentrated particle phase can be collected in particle filters such as Water Maid FlexKarb-S systems.
