DAF Technology

-

 Dissolved Air Floatation (DAF Technology) is widely used clarification process especially in India. DAF technology removes particles from water using air bubbles that collide and fasten to particles. The bubble particles are then separated once they rise to the surface of the tank.

It has applications in several fields which include beverage, municipal, and industrial wastewater, in place treatment of lakes for algae and seawaters for algae and oil spills. DAF technology is easy and energy saving technology.

How does a DAF Technology system work?

Wastewater is pumped into a DAF (Dissolved air flotation) system and mixed with a stream of “whitewater”, which is recirculated clarified water from the DAF that's super saturated with dissolved air. As these two stream mix together, microscopic bubbles attach to solid particulates, giving them enough buoyancy to travel to the surface of the DAF tank.

As solids accumulate during a floating layer of sludge on the highest of the DAF tank, a skimmer gently pushes the sludge toward a discharge tank or hopper.

All solids which don’t float will sink to the “V” bottom of the DAF tank. All settled solids are concentrated and discharged by an automatically controlled pneumatic drain valve.

The purified water flows out via an under-over weir on other side of the DAF unit. A number of this water is employed within the recirculation loop while the remainder flows out of the vessel for discharge or further treatment.

Typically, with the utilization of chemical coagulation prior the DAF, up to 95% reduction of TSS, BOD, FOG are often achieved or up to 75% reductions without chemicals. DAF technology is are often used a primary step before biological wastewater treatment because it are going to be remove an honest portion of the nutrient load and thus reduce the dimensions of the biological treatment system, along side providing a good quality of effluent.

 

Advantages of DAF Technology-

1)      Dissolved Air Floatation is more systematic in removing low-density floc then sedimentation processes.

2)      Dissolved Air Floatation is simpler than sedimentation in removing pathogens like Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts.

3)      Dissolved Air Floatation produces floating sludge with higher percent of solids which possibly reduces sludge treatment and disposal.

4)      Energy savings is higher in DAF technology compared to sedimentation plants as smaller motors are wont to run the flocculator, longer filter runs, and fewer filter backwashing of filters.

5)      Smaller footprint and more rapid implementation.

  #SludgeDewatering   #ComboUnit   #Thickener +BeltFilterPress Krofta Engineering Ltd, India  Introduces newer version, enhanced capacity “Triple Wire Belt Filter Press” which is a COMBO UNIT (Thickener + Dewatering) Triple-Wire Belt Filter Press. This combo unit can work even at 0.8% sludge consistency without using separate thickener for dewatering Primary & biological secondary sludge generated at Industries & municipal plants. > In built flocculator comes as a standard supply with this new design > Low power consumption compared to other systems. The purpose of sludge dewatering is for waste minimization & to achieve overall cost efficiency for disposal. This machines has several combined processes added into one unit and it involves different applications such as chemical conditioning, gravity drainage and mechanical shearing and compression effect to remove water and dry up the sludge. Today, belt filter presses are widely used and it has beco...

Tannery Wastewater Treatment

-
Image
  Tannery wastewaters  are highly complex and its treatment is administered by physical or chemical or biological or a combination of those methods. From the review, it is often concluded that physical/chemical processes combined with the organic process is the better option for the treatment of tannery wastewater. The tanning industry is one of the oldest industries on the planet and therefore the problem of treatment and disposal of those wastes is perhaps as old because of the industry itself.  Tanneries wastewater  effluent is treated in many various ways. There are situations during which a private tannery applies all the below-described  wastewater treatment  steps on site. In other situations a private tannery may apply (on-site) only pre-treatment or a neighborhood pre-treatment or no treatment in the least, sending the effluent to a centralized effluent treatment plant. Nevertheless, treatment is important thanks to the wide selection of toxic effe...
