ER AGHESHISIENS) (LS IST | [eRivate cimiteD] ISSOLVED AIR FLOTATION UNITS [DAF] F iis a gravity separation process whereby the separation of two phases is achieved by sing the specific gravity differenee of the two phases. This is achieved byvattaching micro air es, brought about by saturating water with air under pressure, and then expanding the water m through valves to atmospheric pressure. These micro bubbles nucleate onto the solid particles to arated, thus lowering the specific gravity and allowing contaminants to rise to the surface. yended solids, grease and oil are very efficiently removed by DAF, and a combination of screening DAF results in BOD/COD removals upto 60% depending on the applications fever, a combination of flocculation and floatation ean result in BOD removals of around 80-90%. waste water containing high solids content, itjsmecessary to create a sufficient retention time for watering of the skimming. z 1e PWL Series Flotation Unit have been designed for capacities upto 200 m3/hr. (as standard). jigher capacities are realized by combining or expanding systems. Standard construction is in carbon tee], but other materials is possible. DAF systems in concrete are also possible, Saturation of air in water can be earried out by dosing air in the suction side of the aeration pump. Dissolution takes place by Henry's law, and the turbulence and energy in the pump provide excellent conditions for this process, Alternately, use can be made of a saturation vessel, of conventional design, for the air to dissolve in the water. The recycle flow is mixed with the watewater in the flotation unit, through a pressure pipe. Air bubbles formed adhere to the particles and give them buoyancy to float rapidly to the surface. ‘These systems do not use plate packs, and are open tank, low unit separator, with aeration points in the inlet as well as the sides of the tank to ensure excellent aeration along the entire tank length. Bew. — To ensure high dry solids contents of the skimmings, the solids loading (kg solids/m’ free isan important design factor. For wastewaters containing | high solid contents, it is necessar sufficient retention time for predewatering of the skimmings. The PWL flotation systems haye designed for nominal capacities with solids contents up tp 10.000 mg/l. = 0 0 Cesscly ite Fuesutsce om! 128-25 «37s as TS SOS mS (ER Oewins opm os om wm Om Ow wm wD wD Actengh mm 2100 2700 samo s200 3en0 «300 sea” E600 TEED aHEO T0100 1360 No 000 12800 -Wan mm 1200 700 700 2400 2400 2400 40D 2400 2400 2400 2400 2400 8240 sz00 5200 ee ee = oi Oa smn wh nm ene emt momo mom Simi Oy 68m) om) mom me “: F-cuot ON -&S 80100 OD «YOO ts] 150. sO «mOD «20D zm m0 25D DD G-Sedment ONY 6S 8D 8D. «100~«1OD”=«HOD:=«S:=CaSaS TSO] = The aeration systoma can be ether executed with: a multistage ede channel pump > K1 “air saturation vossel (K2) The sludge collection compartment ia optional and ean bo replaced by: - a dcharge chute ‘1 spiral conveyor discharge for heavy sludges By Features: Bp Applications: + Very compact modular construction; * Poultry processing, meatprocessing and packing; + Maximum pollution load reduction; * Fish processing; + High dry solids content of separating materials; + Miningindustry; + Petro-chemical industry; * Pulpand paper industries; + Textile industry; + Tanneries, other industries.
