World Water Works Announces IDEAL DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation) Technology

The IDEAL DAF system offers performance and cost advantages

World Water Works, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of wastewater treatment solutions, announces the availability of its new IDEAL DAF, a next generation dissolved air flotation (DAF) system with significant performance and cost advantages. The IDEAL DAF system handles flows from 1‐9000 gallons per minute (gpm) and is ideal for industries including food processing, desalination pretreatment, oil and gas, pulp and paper and more. Pilot treatment plants are available and thorough bench testing and pilot treatability studies are conducted to guarantee results. 

With a high total dissolved solids (TDS) and saltwater tolerance, IDEAL DAF provides the flexibility to not only outperform traditional DAFs, but also ensure longevity. Heavy duty
durable polypropylene construction allows operation over a wide temperature range and pH range of 2‐13, so the system offers tremendous treatment flexibility. The system’s robust patent pending design also guarantees low operational and maintenance costs. Consistent and reliable performance ensures compliance with government regulations.

One important feature of the IDEAL DAF system is the IDEAL
DAG (Dissolved Air Generator) technology, which allows the
removal of even the finest insoluble materials by generating 5‐12 micron bubbles, the finest in the industry. The IDEAL DAG
system also achieves saturation efficiencies that approach 95
percent at low energy consumption. This performance has been
documented through upgrades of existing systems that show the
new IDEAL DAG technology improves performance while reducing energy costs by more than 50 percent. 

In addition to the system’s performance benefits, the IDEAL DAF minimizes the need for chemical coagulants and flocculants. Fewer chemicals, combined with low utility requirements, translates into significantly lower operational costs.
