Industrial Dissolved Air Flotation Unit

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is the process which is used for removal of suspended solids, oils and other contaminants with the help of air bubble flotation. Air is dissolved into water, mixed with the waste stream and released from solution while in intimate contact with the contaminants. Air bubbles form, attach to the solids, increase their buoyancy and float the solids to the water's surface. A percentage of the clean effluent is recycled and super-saturated with air, mixed with the wastewater influent and injected into the DAF separation chamber. The dissolved air comes out of solution, producing millions of microscopic bubbles. These bubbles attach to the solids and float them to the surface where they are mechanically skimmed and removed from the tank. The Neo Tech dissolved air flotation systems are designed to remove fats, oils & grease (FOG), suspended solids, food/animal production/processing wastes, industrial wastes, hydrocarbon oils/emulsions and many other contaminants. Clarification rates as high as 90% or more can be achieved using our dissolved air flotation systems. Chemical pretreatment can often help to improve the performance of contaminant removal.
