Project Overview

Dissolved air flotation is a process in which micro air bubbles are introduced into a pond filled with industrial water or sludge. The particles present in the liquid adhere to the micro bubbles as they come up, separating and forming a floating layer of concentrated material. Suspended Solids, Oils, Fats, BOD, COD and turbidity can therefore be removed effectively. The water is then sent to treatment with biodigesters and later used for livestock farming to give part of the…

Dissolved air flotation is a process in which micro air bubbles are introduced into a pond filled with industrial water or sludge. The particles present in the liquid adhere to the micro bubbles as they come up, separating and forming a floating layer of concentrated material. Suspended Solids, Oils, Fats, BOD, COD and turbidity can therefore be removed effectively. The water is then sent to treatment with biodigesters and later used for livestock farming to give part of the water and nutritional components to the pasture.

Project Results

This equipment allowed a reduction in pouring parameters by 80% (BOD without DAF: 964 mg/L-BOD with DAF: 192.8 mg/L, COD without DAF: 2965 mg/L- COD with DAF: 593 mg/L and fats without DAF: 1596.3 mg/L- fats with DAF: 319.26 mg/L).

References: Good practices and technology sheet: GOOD PRACTICES AND TECHNOLOGIES SDG: 6.3 Improvement in water quality Non-monetary savings: the process generated pouring that can be used in other company processes under the principles of circular economy. This equipment allowed a reduction in pouring parameters by 80% (BOD without DAF: 964 mg/L-BOD with DAF: 192.8 mg/L, COD without DAF: 2965 mg/L- COD with DAF: 593 mg/L and fats without DAF: 1596.3 mg/L- fats with DAF: 319.26 mg/L). Life span: approximately 20 years The use of this technology requires chemical products for the flocculation-coagulation process Cases of application N/A Implementation of a dissolved air flotation system in a Soybean Oil Extraction Plant
