Innovative DAF technologie for industry and trade

 

The product

The DAF (dissolved air flotation) technology is a worldwide renowned system employed for the treatment and recycling of industrial and commercial waste water.

The dissolved air flotation process serves for separating the dispersed or suspended substances from the water. The DAF process uses air microbubbles that adhere to the substances and transport them to the water surface. For splitting emulsions chemicals (flocculants, coagulants ...) are added.

The PITT-DAF provides for the following advantages over other DAF technologies:

  • The new AQUAFLOW technology increases the efficiency of the gas bubble spectrum by a multiple. The demand of power is clearly reduced.
  • Due to the turbulence mixing system of AQUAFLOW chemical metering can be done more accurately and economically. The consumption of chemicals is dramatically reduced.
  • The air supply of AQUAFLOW works automatically and requires no electric sensors. This guarantees a nearly maintenance-free operation.
  • Optimum and even flow conditions are achieved thanks to the round form of the central flotation basin.

High quality and long-lasting materials insure a reliable use with low maintenance needs. The modular design provides for a large variety of different applications.

The operation principle

A booster pump pumps the waste water to be treated into the AQUAFLOW where the water is compressed and fed through an atmosphere of compressed air into the mixing chamber.

The AQUAFLOW’s air supply works automatically and requires no electric sensors. The AQUAFLOW ensures a reliable water-air mix and a constant saturation. Undesirable variations in the micro-bubble spectrum are avoided.

Due to the AQUAFLOW turbulence mixing system the chemical reaction time is reduced to a minimum as is the need for splitting chemicals.

The saturated and, if need be, chemically split water flows through the relief valve into the central flotation basin. Using a special, optimised streaming technology the agglomerate formed floats to the water surface.

An adjustable rotating scraper reliably discharges the concentrate out of the basin. The integrated torque regulation allows for minimizing the liquid share in the chemical concentrate and the operating costs.

The treated water flows into the level-controlled clear water basin where it can be reused or drained. Via a very special mechanical device the water level is optimally adjusted to the hydraulic and chemical conditions.
