Dissolved air flotation daf is a water treatment process that clarifies wastewaters or other waters by the removal of suspended matter such as oil or solids.

In recent years there have been large increases in the hydraulic loading rates used to design dissolved air flotation daf.

Developments of high rate dissolved air flotation for drinking water treatment.
At this temperature ρ b is 1 19 kg m3.
For these calculations use a water temperature of 20 c.
Dissolved air flotation operates on the principal of the transfer of floc to the surface of water through attachment of air bubbles to the floc.
Dissolved air flotation systems.
Pewe has specialized in manufacturing premium quality dissolved air flotation equipment since entering the water treatment marketplace back in 2007.
Upon entering the daf unit the air pressure is re.
Assume the flocculated water is saturated with air so k a is 0.
In the contact zone of the daf tank and compare the concentrations of bubbles to floc particles.
We hold us patents 8431022 and 9962631 for the design of our daf water treatment equipment as well as 21 registered trademarks pewe is proud to offer our clients the largest array of dissolved air flotation systems on the market today.
Hei manufactured dissolved air flotation systems daf efficiently separate total suspended solids tss and fats oils and grease fog particles from industrial effluents.
The floc accumulated on the surface known as the float is skimmed off as sludge section 7 19 the clarified water is removed from the bottom and is sometimes called the subnatant or floated water.
Air is dissolved under pressure in a clean liquid usually recycled effluent from the daf unit and injected into the raw feed stream.
Dissolved air flotation is a method for separating and removing sus pended solids from liquid based on changes in the solubility of gas as pressure varies.
The liquid level in the pressure tank is controlled by level control that vents all undissolved air large bubbles to prevent their entering the daf separation chamber.
Air is dissolved in the treated water by the addition of compressed air to a pressurized stream of recycled effluent.
The released air forms tiny bubbles which adhere to the suspended matter.
A common daf design uses a portion of the treated water to deliver the dissolved air to the daf by pumping into a pressure tank with compressed air at 50 75 psig.
