Dissolved Air Float (DAF)

Dissolved Air Float (DAF)

DheyTécnica’s Dissolved Air Float (DAF), was designed to carry out the removal of suspended solids, oils and fats present in effluents, through a physical chemical process, or only physical.

Microbubble generation system through multiphase pump and saturator, microbubble distribution system by dispersers installed in the lower part of the flotation tank.

Main Applications:

  • Removal of suspended solids from surface water and effluents;
  • Turbidity removal;
  • Removal of small algae from supply waters;
  • Removal of oily material from industrial effluents;
  • Pre-treatment of industrial effluents;
  • Post-treatment of anaerobic reactor effluents;
  • Thickening and densification of ETA and ETE sludge;
  • Clarification unit in the activated sludge process.

 

DheyTécnica Flotation System Efficiencies:

PARAMETERS PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL OPERATION PHYSICAL OPERATION
DBO 85 – 92% 40 – 60%
DQO 75 – 80% 60 – 50%
O&G 95 – 98% 40 – 70%
Suspended solids Higher than 95% 40 – 65%
Nitrogen Higher than 50% 20 – 30%

 

Advantages

Small installation areas, due to high operating rates

Low power consumption

High efficiency in the removal of loads, due to the ideal incorporation rate and distribution of microbubbles and hydraulic detention time appropriate to each application

Lower consumption of chemical products when compared to the conventional system

Lower sludge volume generation due to system densification efficiency and high performance in the removal of organic load, oils, greases and suspended solids

Equipment flow

Homogenized Effluent

Dissolved Air Float (DAF)

Clarified liquid for subsequent routing to the secondary system.   Densified residue for later separation in the Decanter or Centrifugal Tridecanter
