Industrial Dissolved Air Flotation System Application Examples

A critical part of wastewater treatment plants, WWW™ DAF technology offers high removal efficiency for many industrial applications while reducing power and chemical requirements. These dissolved air flotation (DAF) systems work by dissolving air into pressurized water to remove suspended solids, fats, oils, greases (FOG) and non-soluble organics. Water enters the DAF system through the influent header box to reduce the water’s velocity and distribute it across the length of the vessel. To optimize the treatment process, the influent header box includes multiple injection points for the introduction of whitewater, which forms micro-bubbles. As the wastewater enters the flotation zone, these micro-bubbles attach to the particles, lowering their density and causing contaminants to rise to the surface. From there, the contaminants can be easily skimmed off and removed.
