Flotation cells.
The heart of any column flotation cell is the bubble generator system. The Deister Flotaire Bubble Generator System generates the fine bubbles (less than 100 microns in size) external from the column flotation cell and introduces the microsized bubbles into the column cell through open-ended, flexible plastic tubes.

Produced Water Secondary Treatment Options — GATE Energy
Horizontal multi-cell flotation units typical have 2 to 4 cells with gas bubble generation. Water flows through the cells in series. Multiple cells eliminate the chance of a small percentage of the feed stream short circuiting the flotation cell as can occur in poorly designed single-cell vertical units.

Flotation technique: Its mechanisms and design parameters
3.7.1. Entrainment theory and empirical correlations. There are two mechanisms of entrainment observed in flotation column. First, one is due to the introduction of feed water which contains suspended solid particle, swept into the froth and second is due to entrapment of fine particle (gangue) in rising bubble [ 6 ].
