    Dissolved air flotation is a wastewater treatment process where microscopic air bubbles attach to suspended solids, causing them to float so they can be removed. Baldwin Industrial Systems provides dissolved air flotation systems for wastewater management. Their systems intimately mix wastewater with dissolved air and polymers to form aggregates that float. Key components include an efficient air dissolving system, air release system, and mixing chamber to optimize flotation. Baldwin offers bench and pilot testing, process optimization support, and guarantees their systems will solve customers' wastewater problems.

    DISSOLVED AIR FLOTATION

    WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT

    Dissolved Air Flotation is a liquid/solid separation process in which microscopic air bubbles
    (10-100) become attached to solid particles suspended in liquid, causing the solid particles to
    float. In a DAF system air is dissolved into liquid under pressure. The dissolved air remains in
    solution until the pressure is released to atmospheric pressure, causing the air to come out of
    solution in the form of microscopic air bubbles. The bubbles are mixed intimately with the
    wastewater and become attached to the solids in the waste stream causing the air solids
    agglomerate to float to the liquid surface where a solids (float) blanket is formed. Surface
    skimmers then remove the float blanket.

    BENEFITS OF THE BALDWIN DAF


    Air Dissolving System
    The Dissolving System provides an air dissolving efficiency of approximately 80%.
    The key to the consistently high dissolving efficiency is the proprietary, non-clogging spray
    cone inside the unit, which ensures excellent air/liquid contact, thus a high mass transfer.
    The efficiency of the air dissolving system permits lower recycle rates and hence allows
    higher wastewater feed rates.

    Air Release System


    The Air Release System is designed to maximise (greater than 95%) the conversion of air into
    bubbles appropriately sized for flotation (10 - 100).

    Air/Solids/Polymer Mixing Chamber


    The Swirl inducing mixing chamber provides intimate mixing for the air bubbles, solids and
    polymer. This allows for optimum air/solids bond formation.

    Quiescent Flotation Cell


    The addition of vertical baffles, called Lamellas, allows laminar flow conditions to
    be maintained at unusually high hydraulic loading. To ensure the float blanket remains
    undisturbed, a free air venting system has also been included.
    Baldwins standard range of DAF units are designed with capacities from 1m3/hr
    to 100m3/hr.
    For larger applications custom designs are available to suit site conditions.

    Process Optimisation
    Baldwins service, know-how and experience are unparalleled in the industry.
    A bench scale test unit allows troubleshooting or optimising of existing units in
    a quick and professional manner without interrupting the full-scale DAF process.
    The same bench scale unit is utilised in our Feasibility Studies to assess the suitability
    of DAF as a treatment method and to accurately size and determine various design
    parameters including the hydraulic loading and air/solids ratio.
    Pilot Unit Available

    Although the bench scale unit almost eliminates the need to conduct site trials,
    pilot scale units are available to prove performance and generate a float for
    dewatering trials.

    Performance Guarantee
    Baldwins commitment to solving your waste water problem starts with a thorough
    evaluation of your process, the components contributing to the generation of waste
    water, and continues through equipment selection and design to the final
    commissioning and operator training phases.
    Selecting a Baldwin DAF unit is your way of ensuring your wastewater problems
    are solved.
