Dissolved Air Flotation DAF

Dissolved Air Flotation DAF

Dissolved Air Flotation in fact, compressed air flotation is one of the important processes of industrial wastewater treatment, effluent and water purification. Using this method in water treatment, by removing all types of suspended pollutants such as oil, grease, fat and colloidal particles can have a great impact on water clarification. Seven Industrial Group; The manufacturer of Dissolved Air Flotation package and various types of wastewater treatment packages, in this article, will provide everything you need to know before buying this product. This includes how Dissolved Air Flotation works and the application of this equipment in various industries and important standards in its design, production and manufacturing.

What is DAF Grease Trap?

The process of removing contaminants and colloidal particles by injecting compressed air into the effluent is called Dissolved Air Flotation or DAF Grease Trap. As a result, the released small bubbles adhere to the colloidal particles suspended in the wastewater and cause the particles to float to the surface, where they are collected by a skimmer and discharged into a sludge storage tank. Due to the very high efficiency of the DAF Grease Trap system, this equipment is widely used in various industries such as oil and gas refineries, food and chemical factories.

How DAF Grease Trap works

In the design process of DAF Grease Trap device, several important steps are considered to remove oil and colloidal particles suspended in water, which are:

·        Compressed air enters the tank and the storage place of sewage and water and causes bubbles in the fluid.

·        The bubbles formed in the liquid adhere to the colloidal particles and are transported to the highest level of the liquid.

·        After placing oily and colloidal particles on the surface of the water, they are collected with the help of skimmers.

Of course, it should be noted that in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the DAF Grease Trap system, it is better to use coagulants according to the type of fluid and suspended particles in it. To do this, it is enough to add coagulants to the inlet effluent to unload the particles. For this purpose, spiral pipes are used, which on the one hand, coagulants are injected in different sections, and on the other hand, a mixture of air and pressurized liquid is injected into these pipes for better mixing.

In the DAF Grease Trap system, some clean and transparent water enters the flocculator tubes and part of it is transferred directly to the flotation unit. Excess treated water is also removed from the DAF system. The clarity of the water leaving the DAF unit is one of the criteria for proper operation of this system.

In some cases, coagulation and flocculation tanks are used instead of flocculation tubes. In this case, the coagulant is mixed with the effluent in the coagulation tank for about 5 minutes and then injected into the DAF. This process is superior to tubular flocculators when the inlet effluent is not neutral and there is sufficient time to neutralize it and it is easily controllable by the user.

DAF Grease Trap package design

According to the international standards provided for the design of the DAF Grease Trap package, its body material must be completely resistant to the materials in the sewage so that the performance of the device is not disturbed. For this purpose, Seven Industrial Group has used SS304 and SS316 stainless steel bodies or carbon steel in the design of DAF Grease Trap. In addition, in the DAF degreaser design process in this complex and depending on the type of wastewater, TSS is considered around 50 to 90 and BOD in the range of 60 to 85%. In addition, in designing a grease trap, it is necessary to pay attention to factors such as the density of colloidal particles, the velocity of fluid entering the tank, the type of particles and their diameter and size.
