Wastewater Treatment Dissolved Air Flotation Systems (DAF)

Dissolved Air Flotation Systems (DAF) are indeed used in water treatment processes to remove suspended solids, oil, grease, and other contaminants from industrial wastewater. The process involves introducing air bubbles into the wastewater, which attach to the suspended particles and cause them to float to the surface, where they can be skimmed off and removed. This technology is widely used in various industries such as food processing, mining, oil and gas, and municipal wastewater treatment, among others, to achieve effective and efficient water purification.

Introduction

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) System for Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Jorsun’s Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) system is an advanced solid-liquid separation technology designed to effectively remove suspended solids (SS), fats, oils, grease (FOG), and phosphorus (P) from various types of industrial wastewater. With years of engineering expertise, we deliver high-efficiency DAF systems tailored for modern industrial needs.

🔹 What is a Dissolved Air Flotation System?

A Dissolved Air Flotation system is a proven wastewater treatment method that uses microbubbles to separate fine solids, oils, and impurities. Commonly used in:

  • 1. Food and Beverage Processing
  • 2. Petrochemical and Refinery Wastewater
  • 3. Pulp and Paper Industry
  • 4. Textile and Dyeing Plants
  • 5. Slaughterhouses and Rendering Plants
  • 6. Municipal Wastewater Pretreatment

The DAF system offers high removal efficiency, low operating cost, and a compact design—making it essential in industrial water treatment processes.

🔹 How Does the DAF System Work?

  1. Chemical Pretreatment: Coagulants and flocculants form larger flocs for separation.
  2. Micro Bubble Generation: Air-saturated water releases microbubbles (20–50μm) into the tank.
  3. Flotation and Separation: Bubbles attach to flocs, floating them to the surface for removal.
  4. Effluent Discharge and Recycling: Clean water is collected and partially recycled for continuous microbubble production.
