Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) System : Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is a Physio-Chemical Treatment where air is intimately contacted with an aqueous stream at high pressure, dissolving the air. The pressure on the liquid is reduced through a back pressure valve, thereby releasing micron-sized bubbles that sweep suspended solids and oil from ...
Suspended solids removal is a fundamental procedure for improving water quality in super-intensive rearing of Pacific white shrimp Penaeus vannamei under biofloc conditions. The aim of this research was to evaluate a dissolved air flotation (DAF) model for removing total suspended solids in a biofloc system for P. vannamei with zero water …

According to Eckenfelder and Krofta and Wang, the most important parameter in designing air flotation systems is the air/solids ratio. If less than the optimum amount of air is employed in the air flotation system, the efficiency of solids (or oil) removal is reduced. If too much air is used, power is wasted in compressing excess air.
Reported values of the air-to-pulp ratio are as high as 16: 1. In mechanical cells and flotation columns, the ratio is usually 1:1. As far as contact between particles and bubbles is concerned, the ASH is clearly a very intensive flotation device. However, it is not so effective at handling the froth-phase requirements.
In situ air sparging is a means by which to enhance the rate of mass removal from contaminated saturated-zone systems. Air sparging involves injecting air into the target contaminated zone, with the expectation that volatile and semivolatile contaminants will undergo mass transfer (volatilization) from the groundwater to the air bubbles (Figure …
The effects of air sparging, the solid particle content, and the type and concentration of flotation reagents on the performance of the hybrid process were the main examined parameters. View Show ...
Air sparging for fouling control. Pierre R. Bérubé, in Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2020 1 Introduction. Air sparging (i.e., two-phase gas-liquid flow) is extensively used to minimize surface fouling and enhance permeate flux. Although effective, air sparging can be expensive. In membrane bioreactor (MBR) …

For over a century, various forms of Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) systems have been employed for the removal of suspended solids, and fats, oils, and grease from wastewater. The amount of air that can be dissolved in DAF systems is limited by the laws of physics and is usually less than 2 – 4% air by volume.
