DAF System Product Introduction

The DAF system (Dissolved Air Flotation system) is an advanced solid-liquid separation technology designed for wastewater treatment applications with high oil content, fine suspended solids, and low-density impurities.

By generating micro air bubbles through a dissolved air release process, the system attaches bubbles to suspended particles and oils, lifting them to the surface for efficient separation and removal.

It is widely used in industrial wastewater treatment systems requiring high-efficiency clarification and stable operation.

System Structure

The DAF system consists of:

  • Dissolved air tank system
  • High-efficiency release device
  • Flotation separation tank
  • Sludge scraping system
  • Air compressor unit (low noise)
  • Stainless steel / carbon steel tank body (SS304 optional)
  • Automatic control system

Modular integrated design ensures compact installation and easy maintenance.

Working principle

1. Dissolved Air Generation

Air is dissolved into water under pressure using a high-efficiency dissolved air system.

2. Micro Bubble Release

Sudden pressure release creates micro bubbles (15–20 microns) in wastewater.

3. Attachment Process

Bubbles attach to oil, grease, and suspended solids in wastewater.

4. Flotation Separation

Combined particles rise to the surface due to reduced density (<1).

5. Sludge Removal

Surface sludge is removed by automatic scraping system.

Result: Efficient solid-liquid separation with up to 90% oil & TSS removal.

Application Scenarios

Industrial Oil Wastewater Treatment

For high oil & grease wastewater → improves flotation separation → achieves 90% oil removal efficiency

Food Processing Wastewater

For high organic grease content → enhances solid-liquid separation → produces stable discharge water

Petrochemical Wastewater

For complex oily effluent → removes emulsified oil → reduces environmental discharge risk

Municipal Wastewater Plants

For mixed suspended solids → improves clarification efficiency → stabilizes effluent quality

Paper & Pulp Industry

For fiber-rich wastewater → enhances particle flotation → improves recycling performance

Why Choose DAF System
