DAF is a gravity separation process whereby the separation of two phases is achieved by increasing the specific gravity difference of the two phases. This is achieved by attaching micro air bubbles, brought about by saturating water with air under pressure, and then expanding the water stream through valves to atmospheric pressure. These micro bubbles nucleate onto the solid particles to be separated, thus lowering the specific gravity and allowing ‘contaminants to rise to the surface Suspended solids,grease and oil are very efficiently removed by DAF, and a combination of screening and DAF results in BOD/ COD removals upto 60% depending on the application. However, a combination of flocculation and floatation can result in BOD removals of around 80-90% T's, Commerce Conte, Tetseo Road, MUMBGl- 400 O34, ToL (022) 4963862 © Lip, Ne P RGR SUSTRS PWF SERIES ‘The PWF Floatation unit is a compact, highly efficient, parallel plate separator. ‘The PWF Floatation unit incorporates a large separation area ina small voluine due to the use of parallel plate technology. Standard systems are available in a range of 5 mhr, to 300 m3/hr:The treatment of Targer capacities are realised by combining or expanding systems, ‘Standard construction is in carbon steel, but other materials is possible. DAF systems in conerete are also possible. In case if needed, systems without plate packs can also be designed and supplied Saturation of air in water can be carried ‘out by dosing air in the suction side of the aeration pump.Dissolution takes place by Henry's law, and the wrbulence and energy in the pump provide excellent conditions for this process. Alternately, use can be made of a saturation vessel, of conventional design, for the air to dissolve in the water.The recyele flow is mixed with the wastewater in the floatation unit, through a pressure pipe. Air bubbles formed adhere o the particles and give them buoyaney to float rapidly to the surface. ‘Stoke's law is used to calculate the rising velocity of particles. This velocity together with the flowrate determine the required separation area. In plate separators. plates are put on top of each other to create alarge separation area in a small volume. The effective ares is then reduced to the horizontally projected area of the plates Laminar flow is maintained between the plates resulting in predictable performance. ‘oma: Epockabomsv ninetyYl) fy enero )\/ NGIBAIY STSTRUST ‘The PWF Flotation system is based on the counter- current flow principle through a plate pack Compact, efficient and easy to maintain treatment systems have been developed based on the innovative plate technology in combination with micro floatation, Microscopically small air bubbles are released in the water making separation of dispersed pollutants possible, The corrugated plates increase the surface area for separation, resulting in very low overflow rates of the materials to be separateu under totally laminar and stable conditions.
