DISSOLVED AIR FLOTATION SYSTEMS

Watermen designs, fabricates, repairs, and optimizes dissolved air flotation systems for industrial wastewater treatment. Our circular DAF systems combine chemical conditioning, air flotation, and deep separation to remove oils and suspended solids while helping facilities control chemical use and treatment costs.

WATERMEN DAF SYSTEMS

  • Extended reaction time for coagulants and polymers

  • Greater separation depth to reduce solids carryover

  • Flexible pH and chemical-dosage adjustment

  • Total-recycle operation for additional treatment when needed

  • Skid-mounted systems available for faster installation

  • Custom design, fabrication, startup, repair, and optimization

 

COMPLETE INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER SUPPORT

Watermen can provide individual DAF components or complete treatment systems, including chemical tanks, feed pumps, circulation pumps, controls, piping, startup assistance, operator support, and process optimization.

We evaluate each facility’s wastewater and operating needs before recommending equipment or chemicals.

FEATURED PROJECT: INDUSTRIAL DAF SYSTEM

Watermen helped replace an aging wastewater treatment operation with a modern enclosed plant built around our circular dissolved air flotation systems.

Our work included process design, custom equipment fabrication, system integration, startup support, and optimization. The completed installation provides greater separation depth, extended chemical reaction time, flexible pH and dosage control, total-recycle capability, and reduced solids carryover.

From individual DAF components to complete treatment systems, Watermen can design, build, repair, optimize, and operate equipment to support industrial wastewater treatment.

ASSESSING AN EXISTING DAF

Watermen assesses the condition of an existing DAF and provides a written report. Damaged components may need replacement without replacing the whole system. Delamination or corrosion of the DAF body can warrant unit replacement, depending on the condition assessment. We explain the findings so your team can consider the appropriate corrective work.
