Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Systems: Efficient Wastewater Treatment Solutions

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is a highly efficient and cost-effective wastewater treatment process that removes suspended solids and other contaminants from water. This advanced technology utilizes the principle of buoyancy to separate these particles from the water, resulting in a cleaner and more environmentally friendly effluent. Our DAF systems are engineered for diverse applications and offer superior performance, reliability, and ease of operation.

How it Works:

Our DAF systems operate on a simple yet effective principle:

1. Air Saturation: Wastewater is pressurized and saturated with air in a dedicated saturation tank. This process dissolves tiny air bubbles into the water.
2. Pressure Release: The pressurized wastewater is then released into a flotation tank, where the pressure is suddenly reduced. This causes the dissolved air to come out of solution, forming microscopic bubbles.
3. Bubble Attachment: These tiny air bubbles readily attach to suspended solids, grease, oil, and other contaminants in the wastewater.
4. Flotation: The air bubbles, now acting as buoyant agents, carry the attached contaminants to the surface, forming a thick scum layer.
5. Removal: This scum layer is then easily skimmed off the surface, leaving behind clarified water. The clarified water is then discharged, significantly reducing the pollutant load.

Key Advantages of Our DAF Systems:

• High Efficiency: Removes a wide range of suspended solids, oils, greases, and other contaminants with exceptional efficiency, often achieving superior removal rates compared to other technologies.
• Compact Design: Our DAF systems are designed for compact footprint, minimizing space requirements and maximizing treatment capacity.
• Low Chemical Consumption: Typically requires lower chemical dosages compared to other separation technologies, resulting in reduced operational costs.
• Reduced Sludge Production: Produces a smaller volume of concentrated sludge compared to other treatment methods, simplifying sludge handling and disposal.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for a broad range of applications, including:
  • Municipal wastewater treatment
  • Industrial wastewater treatment (food processing, oil & gas, etc.)
  • Potable water treatment
  • Recycling and reuse applications
• Automation & Monitoring: Our systems can be equipped with advanced automation and monitoring capabilities for optimal performance and minimal operator intervention.
• Customization: We offer customized solutions tailored to specific client needs and wastewater characteristics. We consider flow rate, contaminant type, and other factors to ensure optimal system design and performance.
