Enhanced Dissolved Air Floatation DAF
Working Principle
Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) works on the principle of physio-chemical technique for treating a variety of industrial processes and wastewater streams, including those from sewage, food processors, laundry facilities, pulp and paper producers, as well as other biological wastewater treatment systems. Our DAF systems effectively removes suspended solids (TSS), Oil & Greases and reduces COD, BOD and Turbidity from any wastewater stream.
Boson Alchemies DAF systems are enhanced with specially designed and proprietary self integrated and on skid mounted Air Dissolving Tank (ADT). We use air dispersion and diffusion forces as principles to generate microbubbles with very high saturation. The clarified effluent stream after the DAF is used to mixed with influent stream in a hermetically sealed high pressure ADT from where the dissolved micro bubbles come out and get attached to the contaminant particles. These bubbles causes the sludge particle / contaminants to rise to the surface of the effluent water and forms a continuous layer of sludge, which is skimmed off by a scrapper into a separate sludge slurry chamber of the DAF. This sludge can be further taken to a filter press or a dewatering screw for further treatment.
Micro bubbles attach to the sludge particles and float; Rising up to the liquid surface
- Fully welded, pressure vessel construction of the ADT
- Custom designed as per site space constraints
- Inbuilt or Separate flocculation chamber or tube flocculator integrated with DAF
Applications
DAF systems are commonly used for the removal of oils & greases, fine metals and suspended solids to meet a variety of treatment goals including
-
Product recovery and reuse
-
Post Hydro-oxidation for continuous processing and separation of suspended solids from oxidation process
-
DAF is also used as a self integrated domestic Sewage Treatment Plant with Boson Alchemies formulated special M-23CF chemical with as a continuous process for any flow rates upwards of 1 m3/hr
-
Pretreatment and separation to reduce loading on downstream processing and filtration systems
-
Thickening of sludge solids
