What is dissolved air flotation (DAF)?

The Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) by MAT-KULING is a superior physical/chemical technology designed to treat a variety of industrial and municipal processes and wastewater streams. DAF systems are widely implemented to achieve multiple treatment objectives such as:

How does a DAF system work?

Our DAF systems effectively remove total suspended solids (TSS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and oils and greases (O&G) from wastewater by utilizing a dissolved air-in- water solution produced by injecting air under pressure into a recycle stream of clarified DAF effluent.

Does AWC manufacture DAF systems?

AWC has been designing and manufacturing DAF systems for over 40 years in both package plants as well as large concrete plant envelopes. In 2020, AWC acquired the DAF intellectual property from Leopold, a pioneer in high-rate DAF applications, further bolstering AWC’s leadership in the space.

Why did AWC acquire DAF?

In 2020, AWC acquired the DAF intellectual property from Leopold, a pioneer in high-rate DAF applications, further bolstering AWC’s leadership in the space. DAF technology is used in many industrial and municipal applications, ranging across potable water, process water and wastewater use cases.

How does the clearfox® dissolved air flotation plant work?

The ClearFox® dissolved air flotation plant is fully automatic. A helical rotor pump feeds the water from the onsite equalisation or collection tank to the reactor. The wastewater flows through a pH-regulation system, where pH-fluctuations are adjusted. Then, wastewater flows continuously into the DAF reactor.

How does a DAF reactor work?

The wastewater flows through a pH-regulation system, where pH-fluctuations are adjusted. Then, wastewater flows continuously into the DAF reactor. Additives are mixed in a polymer preparation station in order to aid the flocculation and flotation process. These flocculants are mixed automatically with the inflowing waste water.
