Improving Dissolved Air Quality With The AirWhip™ DAF Pump

The heart of any dissolved air flotation (DAF) system is the pump that dissolves air into the wastewater. This is because DAFs work by adding whitewater to the wastewater to create microbubbles, which attach to the suspended solids and other contaminants. These bubbles lower the particles’ density, causing the contaminants to rise to the surface and be easily skimmed off. At World Water Works, we incorporate our proprietary AirWhip™ pump technology into WWW™ DAF systems to achieve efficient flotation, improving the quality of the dissolved air and allowing maximum adhesion to the floc particles.

The AirWhip system works by drawing treated water out of the DAF’s influent chamber and then dissolves compressed air into the flow to send back to the DAF header box. There are also a few ways to incorporate this pump into your DAF system. For more information about AirWhip, including its features and benefits, read our blog post.
