Abstract:
A method of using dissolved air flotation in a flotation cell to filter water is provided. The method involves creating first and second air-water mixtures and discharging the first air-water mixture with a current in the flotation cell and the second air-water mixture countercurrent to the direction of flow in the flotation cell. The bubbles created when the air is released separate solids out of the water.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the flotation cell defines a direction of flow along a longitudinal axis extending from the inlet to the outlet, the flotation cell having a top and a bottom to define a cell depth extending from the top of the flotation cell to the bottom of the flotation cell in a direction of a transverse axis transvers to the longitudinal axis, wherein each of the discharging of the first and second dissolved air-water mixtures is at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis such that the first direction defines an included angle with the longitudinal axis ranging from about 35 to about 55 degrees; and the second direction defines an included angle with the longitudinal axis ranging from about 35 to about 55 degrees.
