Ultra-Float Advanced Dissolved Air Flotation Process

The THERMODYNE Ultra-Float Advanced Dissolved Air Flotation Process (ADAF) is the first plug-flow DAF ever produced. It's high efficiency design means that outstanding dewatering and clarification of wastewater can be obtained with a compact unit and minimal capital expenditures. It is available in both cylndrical and rectangular configurations.

Case Study: Vegetable Oil Processing

At a major vegetable oil processor, a THERMODYNE Ultra-Float ADAF was installed to replace an existing DAF unit. The results were immediate; the BOD from the facility dropped from over 2000 ppm BOD to less than 600 ppm BOD and sludge with a water content of less than 30% was obtained. THERMODYNE was able to deliver the unit in less than 8 weeks and the unit has paid for itself in energy savings and reduced chemical costs in less than one year

Benefits of the THERMODYNE Ultra-Float ADAF
Clarification : 99.98% and higher - Comparable to micro-filtration

Little or no chemicals used - Good for food or chemical processing

Solids consistency up to 70% - can be used for sludge thickening

Both solid-liquid suspension and liquid-liquid emulsion seperable

Applicable to separation of heavy solids and viscous liquids

Flotation capacity - 3.6 - 7.2 GPM/sq.ft (highest in industry)

Very high solid loading capacity - 10.93 lb/min/sq.ft and higher

Very low liquid retention time - as low as 3.75 minutes

Flow rate - Circular : up to 8,000 GPM; Rectangular : up to 5,500 GPM

Adaptable to fluctuating inflow composition and conditions

Negligible Maintenance - No regular cleaning required

Lowest in purchase and operating costs

THERMODYNE can do engineering studies for you and can help you obtain grants through state and federal agencies for the installation of wastewater equipment for compliance.
