The Safest Way to Treat Wastewater - Solids Removal

Dissolved air flotation is a chemical process that removes suspended solids from water.The dissolved air flotation technique is a method of water purification that uses air bubbles to cause suspended particles to rise to the surface.The theory is that the bubbles attach themselves to the particles in the water, which then form an air film around them. These bubbles can then be skimmed off or broken up into clusters, which are then more easily removed.

 Dissolved air flotation applications are most often used for wastewater treatment, drinking water treatment, and pulp and paper processing. In these applications, the solids are removed by suspending them in a flocculated slurry or by attaching them to air bubbles. Such bubbles are then removed from the liquid through a process that removes dissolved gases from the system. This technique is very suitable for municipal wastewater treatment.

Dissolved air flotation provides a quick, efficient, and environmentally friendly way to remove suspended and dissolved solids from liquid.


This process is especially used in the wastewater treatment industry. It has been developed in order to treat wastewaters that are too contaminated for other cleaning methods. Dissolved air flotation can also be used to aid precipitation of solids found in other industries.

Some companies use dissolved air flotation to remove pollutants from industrial wastewaters, such as hydrocarbons and heavy metals; these companies often use it in conjunction with other processes such as activated sludge or biological precipitation.

The process of dissolved air flotation is a process that separates waste from water. It is a physical separation process, and it works by using bubbles to create buoyancy. As the name implies, dissolved air flotation uses dissolved air to create bubbles that float on the surface of the liquid. The water contains waste particles which are heavier than the bubble, so they sink below the surface and are separated from it.

Dissolved air flotation has many advantages over other separation processes such as sedimentation or gravity-based separation processes because it speeds up the time required for waste removal by creating an optimal environment for growth. Dissolved air flotation processes can be used in a wide variety of industries and settings including industrial wastewater treatment plants, municipal wastewater treatment plants, hazardous waste treatment facilities, landfill leach

The most common pollutants that this process removes are fats, oils, greases and soluble hydrocarbons. The daf  has been around for many years and it is now possible to rent the equipment on a short-term basis from Applied Waste Water Solutions.
