DAF water treatment plants are intended to eliminate SS (suspended solids), BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), oils, and greases from a wastewater stream. Impurities are eradicated through the usage of dissolved air in water solution manufactured by inserting air under pressure into a recycle stream of clarified DAF effluent. DAF delivers the desirable energy for effective flotation in the form of exceptionally fine air bubbles which come to be attached to the suspended solids to be eliminated. The magnetism between the air bubbles and suspended particles is the outcome of adsorption forces that are functional characteristics of the suspended particle surface, or physical entangling in the particle. This attachment of bubbles to the suspended particles decreases the density of the suspended particle causing in amplified buoyancy, thus achieving effective flotation. Chemical conditioning is every so often utilized to escalate the effectiveness of the dissolved air flotation procedure. Contaminants are concentrated in the particle that gathers on the surface, known as the float or skimming or sludge.

This re-cycle stream is then united and blended with inward waste water in an inner contact compartment where the dissolved air releases out of solution in the form of micro-sized bubbles that fasten to the impurities. The bubbles and impurities upsurge to the surface and form a floating bed of containments that is eradicated by a surface skimmer into an inner hopper for advance treatment. 

There are three sorts of aeration in DAF- Full stream pressurization where the total influent stream is forced and then discharged in the flotation tank where the bubbles are made. Partial stream pressurization where portion of the influent stream (approx. 30 to 50%) is pressurized and directly led to the flotation tank. The residual fraction of influent stream is treated by gravity or low-pressure machine to flotation compartment. This is engaged in cases where suspended solids are at a low concentration and thus have requirement of low air. Re-cycled stream pressurization where a fraction of treated waste water (approx. 15 to 50%) is forced and re-cycled to the flotation tank. This is commonly engaged where coagulation & flocculation are part of the treatment procedure. This substitute is commonly used in waste water treatment with oil elimination. Choice of aeration method depends on type of suspensions. Re-cycle stream pressurization is most frequently brought in usage. In practice, industrial waste water has necessary re-cycles of effluent fluctuating from 5 - 50%. Floated product or sludge 2 - 20% solid, is typically eliminated by an automatic chain paddlers.
