What is a Dissolved Air Flotation Clarifier?

Westlake Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Westlake Environmental Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) clarifier is a very versatile and effective tool for cleaning industrial wastewater. It efficiently removes suspended solids, oil and grease, metals as well as the suspended biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from a waste stream. Removal rates in excess of 95% are common. Some installations report 99.9% FOG and TSS reduction.

Westlake Environmental utilizes the latest design features and technologies to provide the best DAF on the market.  We offer high-performance systems that range from 5 GPM to over 3,000 GPM in a single DAF unit.

The Westlake Environmental DAF systems are specifically designed utilizing inclined plate technology and can be used to treat waste streams in both primary and secondary applications.  The inclined plate design allows for the utilization of effective surface area to significantly increase the hydraulic capacity of the DAF system.   The DAF is compact in size relative to the amount of flow it can treat. Designed to handle both floating and settling solids effectively, the DAF utilizes a unique skimmer design that is reliable, robust and virtually maintenance free. The system is simple to use and requires little maintenance.
