Dissolved-air flotation processes are designed to enhance the efficiency of solid-liquid separation in wastewater treatment. The core principle revolves around saturating the influent stream with air under high pressure, allowing a significant amount of air to dissolve in the water. Once this water is released into the flotation chamber, the pressure drops, causing the dissolved air to form microbubbles. These microbubbles exhibit a unique ability to attach to suspended particles, leading to effective removal of contaminants.
A typical dissolved-air flotation system comprises several integral components, each playing a crucial role in the overall functioning of the process. Key components include:
Flotation Tank: This is the primary vessel where the separation process occurs. It is designed to promote the coalescence of bubbles and suspended solids.
Air Saturation System: This consists of pumps and pressurization equipment that infuse the wastewater with dissolved air.
Sludge Removal Mechanism: Often designed as a skimmer, this component collects the thickened sludge that rises to the surface.
Effluent Collection System: A series of troughs or piping that ensures the treated water is channeled away from the system for further processing or discharge.
Control System: This consists of monitoring and control devices for regulating flow rates, pressure levels, and chemical dosing to ensure optimal operation.
