In cold, low-mineral content surface water where the naturally light floc can easily be separated by flotation, it is possible to achieve upward flow rates of 5 to 8 m/h (16 to 26 ft/h). In oil separation flotation units these rates will vary from 3 to 7 m/h (10 to 23 ft/h) according to the nature of the oil and the degree of purification required.
