The removal is achieved by dissolving air in the water or wastewater under pressure and then releasing the air at atmospheric pressure in a flotation.

The coagulants used most often in water treatment are aluminum and ferric salts.
Applications for daf flotation systems industrial poultry processing meat packing rendering canning prepared foods seafood processing snack foods railroads refinery storm water treatment power plants chemical processing plants stockyard and feedlot run off tanning pulp and paper.
Dispersed air flotation is generally unsuitable for water treatment as the bubble size is large and because of high turbulence and use of undesirable frothing and surfactant chemicals.
Dissolved air flotation daf is a water treatment process that clarifies wastewaters or other waters by the removal of suspended matter such as oil or solids.
Comparison of daf to iaf.
Daf is claimed by some as providing higher quality.
The removal is achieved by dissolving air in the water or wastewater under pressure and then releasing the air at atmospheric pressure in a flotation tank basin.
Coagulation and flocculation are required pretreatment processes.
The released air forms tiny bubbles which adhere to the suspended matter.
Figure 1 is a process schematic diagram for a daf drinking water plant.
Dissolved air flotation daf dissolved air flotation daf is a water treatment process that clarifies wastewaters or other waters by the removal of suspended matter such as oil or solids.
Daf is known for the micro air bubbles of 30 50 micron which are formed as the pressurized water is released into the influent stream.
The bubbles quickly stick to the impurities in the water and therefore cause a high degree of clarification.
Before daf to minimise daf operating costs maintain consistent loadings to the daf unit or target removal of contaminants not primarily suited to air flotation.
When the pressure is relieved the saturated solution becomes super saturated and the air evolves as bubbles from solution.
Coagulation is a chemical addition step.
The pressurized water and compressed air are mixed and held long enough to create a saturated solution.
An oil water separator can be used to remove free oil and solids at low levels for minimal cost before daf treatment.
