Integrated Treatment SystemsDAF Systems > D-Series DAF Systems
Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is a water treatment process that clarifies wastewater through the removal of suspended matter such as oil, greases or solids. Removal is achieved by dissolving air in the water or wastewater under pressure and then releasing the air at atmospheric pressure in a flotation tank or basin. The released air forms tiny bubbles which adhere to the suspended matter causing the suspended matter to float to the surface of the water where it may then be removed by a skimming device. We provide systems to meet the needs of a variety of industries requiring the removal of effluents from their wastewater system.
DAF is a highly efficient method for removal of turbidity, color, suspended solids and other contaminants from water. It has become widely accepted for use in potable water treatment, municipal wastewater as well as a variety of industrial applications. |
Ecologix D-Series DAF systems provide Physical / Chemical Wastewater Treatment Systems to all industries and industrial customers. We guarantee to meet or exceed your discharge limits with our traditional rectangualr or circular designed Dissolved Air Flotation Systems. All systems provide water reuse without further filtration or treatment. The entire system is pre-wired, pre-plumbed and skid mounted. Prior to shipment, every system is fully assembled and test-run in our factory. All components including holding tanks, polymer tanks, pumps, valves, flocculation, catwalk, stairs and critical spares are included on the skid. We install the complete system in a matter of hours using our own installers. All the customer needs to provide is power to the control panel, influent piping to the sewer and a small factory air supply. All systems provide water reuse without further filtration or treatment. The customer's product mix and testing determine the actual water reuse potential. Typical uses for reuse water include: flume water, coop washing, truck washing and parking lot washing. We guarantee that you will use less chemistry than any competitive system. We do this by designing the physical equipment and the chemical program to work together as a complete system. Efficient mixing and rising characteristics of the physical system allow optimum chemical performance. A properly designed and operated DAF aeration/recycle system will generate bubbles that are so small that they are invisible, and turn the water in a flotation clearifier an intense white. These bubbles will remain suspended in the water for several minutes, providing sufficient time for the bubbles to contact contaminates and float them to the top for skimming. Concurrent skimming allows the float to age and become more dense, reducing rendering as well as disposal and land application costs. |

METALS REMOVAL
Removes all common metals to less than 1ppm and into the parts per billion (ppb) level count in a continuous flow process at flow rates up to and over 1,000 GPM. Oils, grease and other contaminants are removed in the same step. Because the CRM operates in a continuous process, you can run the rest of your plant without worrying about overloading the waste treatment system. |
POULTRY PROCESSING
|
The D series DAF system for the Poultry Processing Industry treats every type of waste stream created by eviscerating, further processing and cleaning. The system operates in a continuous process using minimal amounts of chemistry in a self-contained, skid-mounted unit that uses little floor space and requires minimal operator intervention. The powerful microscopic bubbles float solids to the surface as shown to the right.
The Application Ecologix supplies wastewater treatment systems to both poultry kill plants and further processing plants. Poultry processing creates different types of waste streams depending on the type of plant and its products. Kill Plants |
First Shift (slaughter) Second Shift (cleaning) Further Processing The Challenge |
INDUSTRIAL LAUNDRY and TEXTILE RENTAL |
| Our DAF systems apply to both Industrial Laundry operations and Textile Rental companies operating their own washing plants.
The Application Challenges Depending on the product mix in the washroom, the time of day, the season or other factors, the nature of the waste stream sent to the waste treatment system can fluctuate widely. Traditional waste treatment methods rely on large equalization tanks and long dwell times to archive proper treatment conditions. These systems use large quantities of chemicals and take up vast amounts of valuable floor space. On top of the waste treatment challenges, water supplies are dwindling and the cost of clean incoming plant water is becoming significant. |
