70-80 m³/h Dissolved Air Flotation Unit for Sludge Treatment


The dissolved air flotation unit is a physical-chemical wastewater treatment system designed to separate suspended solids, oils, and grease from water. It operates by dissolving air under pressure and releasing microbubbles that attach to particles, causing them to float for removal by a surface skimmer. The system is widely used in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants, providing efficient clarification for high-load effluents, including oily wastewater and chemical process streams with stable separation performance.

Product introduction of Dissolved Air Flotation Unit

The dissolved air flotation unit is a solid-liquid separation system used for wastewater clarification through microbubble flotation technology. It integrates coagulation, flocculation, air dissolution, and flotation separation in a single treatment process. Designed for continuous operation, it handles wastewater containing suspended solids, oils, and fine particles. The equipment is commonly constructed with corrosion-resistant materials and includes a recycle pressure system for air saturation. It is suitable for industries such as food processing, petrochemical, paper production, and municipal sewage treatment requiring stable effluent quality and reduced pollutant load.

Working Principle

The dissolved air flotation unit operates by dissolving air into a portion of clarified water under pressure. When released into the flotation tank, the pressure drop creates microbubbles. These bubbles attach to suspended particles, reducing their density and causing them to rise to the surface. A sludge layer forms and is removed by a skimming system, while clarified water exits from the bottom. The process combines chemical conditioning and physical flotation for efficient solid-liquid separation.
