Horizontal DAF The Vikas Horizontal DAF Process:
The Vikas Horizonatl DAF systems are designed to remove suspended solids (TSS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), and oils and greases (O&G) from a wastewater stream. Contaminants are removed through the use of a dissolved air-in-water solution produced by injecting air under pressure into a recycle stream of clarified DAF effluent. This recycle stream is then combined and mixed with incoming wastewater in an internal contact chamber where the dissolved air comes out of solution in the form of micron-sized bubbles that attach to the contaminants. The bubbles and contaminants rise to the surface and form a floating bed of material that is removed by a surface skimmer into an internal hopper for further handling.
Old DAF System
New DAF System
Timer-operated, variable speed drive allows fine tuning of top skimmer operation to match float production
Oversized, adjustable effluent weir rings pro-vide easy adjustment of water level and prevents fluctuations from flow surges .Compact, heavy-duty design allows for simple installation and easy cleaning around the unit oversized float hopper provides intermediate storage of material for transfer to disposal or dewatering

Applications
Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a proven and effective physical/chemical technology for treating a variety of industrial and municipal process and wastewater streams. DAF systems are commonly used for the removal of oils & greases and suspended solids to meet a variety of treatment goals including:
• Product recovery and reuse
• Pretreatment to meet sewer discharge limits
• Pretreatment to reduce loading on downstream biological treatment systems
• Polishing of biological treatment effluent
• Thickening of bio solids
There is a wide range of industrial and municipal applications for Float DAF including:
Industrial Applications
• Poultry processing
• Meat processing
• Laundries and textiles
