What is the difference between shallow flotation and ordinary flotation?

1. Effective water depth: The effective water depth of shallow flotation is shallow, usually between 400-750mm; while the effective water depth of ordinary flotation is relatively deep.
2. Hydraulic retention time: The hydraulic retention time of shallow flotation is short, generally 3-5 minutes; the hydraulic retention time of ordinary flotation is longer.
3. Surface load: The surface load of shallow flotation is high and the processing capacity is stronger; the surface load of ordinary flotation is relatively low.
4. Floor space: Shallow flotation occupies a small area and has a compact structure; ordinary flotation occupies a large area.
5. Operation efficiency: Under the same processing capacity, shallow flotation has higher operation efficiency and relatively lower energy consumption; the operation efficiency and energy consumption of ordinary flotation are relatively inferior.
6. Installation and maintenance: Shallow flotation is relatively simple to install, has low maintenance costs, and is easy to clean; ordinary flotation is relatively complicated in this regard.
