Dissolved Air Flotation Malaysia

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is a water treatment process that treats wastewater by removing total suspended solids (TSS), oils, greases, and other contaminants. DAF systems work by using microscopic air bubbles to make these particles float to the surface, where they can be easily skimmed off. The core principle is the opposite of sedimentation (where particles sink). DAF technology is especially ideal for eliminating very light particles that settle slowly or not at all.

Cubictech delivers cutting-edge Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) systems, widely used for treating industrial wastewater from various sources, including oil refineries, chemical plants, paper mills, and the food & beverage industries. Our range of DAF plants  is designed to eliminate inorganic and organic components in a highly effective and economical way. The compact systems are factory-built for direct installation.

What are the core components of a Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) system?

At its heart, a DAF system is an innovative solution for purifying water, relying on a precise synergy between its key components. The system comprises various equipment, key among them a flotation tank, skimmers, and pumps. The essential components can be divided into two key areas:

1. The Separation & Reaction Zone:

This is where the visible magic happens. It includes:

• The Flotation Tank: The main stage where clarified water is separated from contaminants.
• Coagulation & Flocculation Tanks: Here, specialized chemicals are mixed with the wastewater, causing tiny particles to clump together into larger, “floatable” masses.
• The Skimming Mechanism: A mechanical scraper that continuously removes the buoyant layer of waste (scum) from the water’s surface.

2. The Heart of the System: The Air Dissolution Unit

This is the engineered core that makes the entire process possible. The precision of the Air Dissolution Unit is what defines a high-performance DAF. It primarily consists of a pressurized water pump and air compressor, a pressure dissolved air tank (saturation vessel), and dissolved air release heads.

The Core Engineering Challenge: Precision, Not Just Parts

At Cubictech, we firmly believe that the ultimate measure of a DAF system’s effectiveness isn’t just having these components, but how they are mastered. The pivotal technical achievement lies in maintaining a perfect pressure balance within the saturation vessel. This ensures maximum air is dissolved into the water, creating the incredibly fine bubbles necessary for efficient treatment.

Furthermore, the system’s reliability hinges on preventing clogging in the release heads. Any blockage disrupts the delicate bubble cloud, immediately reducing treatment efficiency. Therefore, a well-designed DAF is a masterpiece of balanced pressure management and clog-resistant engineering, guaranteeing consistent, crystal-clear results.

High Removal Efficiency

Cubictech supplies the best quality Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)  systems with unparalleled efficiency and low operational costs. Our systems have incorporated the latest technology to ensure the utmost removal efficiency while maintaining low power and chemistry requirements. The DAF systems are proven and tested for unparalleled flexibility in extracting water throughout the process, extending retention time, and enhancing effluent quality.

Rugged Design, Long Life

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) systems are exposed to harsh environments, hence the need for heavy-duty, lightweight polypropylene (PP) construction. Also, the systems should be designed using corrosion-resistant material. At Cubictech, our range of DAF systems is synonymous with rugged design and long life. The systems have high total dissolved solids (TDS) and saltwater tolerance, chemical treatment flexibility, and a wide pH range.
