Industrial consultancy · Water treatment

Industrial water.Experience engineered.

Since 1990, I have worked alongside industry and plant engineering in water treatment. Today I turn more than three decades of experience into practical, modular and integrable ELETTROFLOTTAZIONE® solutions.

01

Electrochemical activation

Microbubbles and reactive species are generated directly in the liquid within the electrode pack.

02

Capture and aggregation

Oils, colloids, metals and suspended solids are destabilised and gathered into separable flocs.

03

Flotation and separation

Microbubbles attach to the flocs and carry them to the surface, leaving a clarified water phase.

02 · Method

From process challenge to industrial solution

One technical path, from water sample to plant operation.

03 · Professional history

Expertise built in the field, since 1990.

My journey started around operating plants and grew through process analysis, business development, commissioning and project delivery. ELETTROFLOTTAZIONE® brings this experience together: not an isolated technology, but a solution integrated into the client's real process.

1990

The journey begins

First experience in industrial water treatment, plant operations and technical support.

2007

Sharing knowledge

Creation of the Italian Wikipedia entry on electroflotation as an educational contribution to the sector.

2015

ETF industrialisation

Development and industrialisation of proprietary systems, from the electrolytic cell to the complete automated module.

2021

International projects

Technical-commercial consultancy, know-how transfer, training and local manufacturing support.

Today

Modular solutions

Pilot trials, scale-up and containerised systems for water treatment, recovery and reuse.

04 · International experience

Technology presented where the future of water is being shaped.

Institutional conferences and industrial forums have supported the international development of expertise built through ELETTROFLOTTAZIONE® projects.

India–Italy Technology Summit — Stefano Sommariva
2018 · New Delhi

India–Italy Technology Summit

Presenting the technology within the industrial and scientific dialogue between Italy and India.

Oman Energy & Water — Stefano Sommariva
2019 · Oman

Oman Energy & Water

Sharing field experience with operators and decision-makers across the energy and water-treatment sectors.

05 · Expertise

From feasibility to commissioning.

One technical lead connecting process, machinery, automation and the expected result.

01

Application screening

Assessment of wastewater, treatment targets, site constraints and interfaces with existing plant sections.

02

Pilot trials

Test plans on real samples, trial execution, result interpretation and technical decision reports.

03

Industrial scale-up

Translation of experimental evidence into modular architecture, treatment capacity and plant configuration.

04

Integrated engineering

P&IDs, functional logic, auxiliary equipment, automation and interfaces with filtration or membranes.

05

Technical sales

Technical-commercial proposals, solution positioning, negotiation and supply coordination.

06

Commissioning

Start-up, staff training, process tuning and operational know-how transfer.

06 · Applications

When water is part of the process, not simply a discharge.

01Complex industrial wastewater
02Oils and emulsions
03Metals and suspended solids
05Water recovery and reuse
06Load reduction for downstream treatment

07 · Approach

Demonstrate first. Then size.

Every project starts from real data. Pilot testing reduces uncertainty, defines the right configuration and builds a shared technical basis before industrial investment.

01

Measure

Representative sample and clear analytical targets.

02

Validate

Controlled testing and transparent comparison of results.

03

Integrate

ETF as part of the complete process, never an island.

04

Transfer

Training and technical support through full operational autonomy.
