A Clarifier Suited for Wastewater Streams Containing Solids, Oils, and Greases that are difficult to settle or tend to float.
With proper chemical conditioning, we remove colloidal and emulsified materials. Complete pretreatment systems can be supplied.
High-rate design
High removal efficiency
Meet effluent discharge requirements
Recovering suspended material
Reclaiming water for reuse
Thickening of slurries and sludges
Remove Suspended Solids
The Komline-Sanderson Dissolved Air Flotation Clarifier is designed for the removal of suspended solids or water-immiscible liquids from process or wastewater to produce an effluent of high clarity and free of objectionable particles or liquid. Dissolved air flotation is best applied to remove materials that normally settle slowly, persist by remaining in suspension, or have a tendency to float.
K-S DAF offers
Continuous operation
Application versatility
Ease of operation, requiring minimal attention
Simple, durable design for low maintenance and long life
Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is a process for the removal of fine suspended material from an aqueous suspension. The term “flotation” indicates something floated on or at the surface of a liquid. The DAF provides the energy for effective flotation in the form of extremely fine air bubbles, which become attached to the suspended material to be removed. This attachment of bubbles to the particle “reduces” the density of the particle resulting in increased buoyancy, thus affecting flotation. Chemical conditioning is often used to increase the effectiveness of the dissolved air flotation process. The most reliable and positive method of producing bubbles of the proper size is to dissolve air into water under pressure and then to reduce the pressure of the solution. As the pressure is reduced, the air comes out of solution in the form of microbubbles.
Wastewater is pretreated with chemicals.
Treated influent is fed to DAF unit.
Recycle is drawn off effluent line and is sent through the air dissolving system and then sent back into the DAF.
Air is released from the recycle flow and the bubbles help to float solids in the DAF tank.
Float is skimmed from the top of the tank.
Clear effluent flows out of the unit.
