Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Unit

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Unit

Pressurised recycle water releases micro-bubbles that attach to suspended particles and float them to the surface as sludge, achieving efficient solid-liquid separation. Units up to 10 m³/h include a lift pump.

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) — Applications and Operation

DAF is a proven physical-chemical separation process for removing suspended solids, oil and grease from municipal and industrial wastewater. Pressurised recycle water releases micro-bubbles that carry particles to the surface for skimming.

How does a DAF unit work?

A portion of clarified water is pressurised and saturated with air, then released into the flotation tank. The micro-bubbles attach to suspended particles and float them to the surface, where a skimmer removes the sludge layer.

What pollutants does DAF remove?

DAF is effective for suspended solids, oil and grease, and can assist with emulsions and low-density particles that do not settle readily. It is widely used in municipal, food, chemical and oil-bearing wastewater.

What capacities are available?

Standard models cover 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50 and 100 m³/h. Units up to 10 m³/h include a lift pump.

What information is needed for sizing?

Provide the design flow rate, influent suspended solids and oil content, and the target outlet quality. Dosing requirements are configured separately.
