The Sigtec DAF Unit: An Innovative Solution for Medium to High Solids Wastewater Treatmen

 

When it comes to wastewater treatment, one of the most effective and efficient technologies is the dissolved air flotation unit (DAF) system. Aqualitec’s Sigtec DAF Unit is a game-changer, designed to handle medium to high solids loading in a wide range of wastewater treatment applications. This innovative system offers optimal performance, superior separation, and reduced operational costs, making it an ideal choice for industries that require robust treatment solutions.

What is a DAF Unit?

A DAF unit works by using dissolved air to float suspended solids in wastewater to the surface, where they can be easily removed. In this process, air is dissolved into the wastewater under pressure, and then released at the surface, causing fine air bubbles to form. These bubbles attach to the suspended solids, which causes them to rise to the top, where they can be skimmed off and collected. The clear water underneath can then be further treated or discharged.

This process is highly effective for removing oils, greases, suspended solids, and other contaminants that are commonly found in wastewater from industries such as food processing, paper mills, textile factories, and more.

Why Choose the Sigtec DAF Unit?

1. Superior Separation Performance

The Sigtec DAF Unit is specifically designed to create the optimal environment for easy and efficient separation of solids from wastewater. One of its key features is its large free surface area. This maximizes the time that the wastewater remains in contact with the air bubbles, allowing for a more efficient separation process. The long retention time ensures that even the smallest particles are effectively separated and removed.

2. Enhanced Sludge Collection

The sludge thickener in the Sigtec DAF Unit plays a critical role in the efficient handling of solids. After the solids are floated to the surface, they are collected in the sludge thickener and transported to the sludge cone using a low friction scraper system. This feature not only improves the system's overall performance but also reduces wear and tear on the equipment, contributing to lower maintenance costs.

3. Medium to High Solids Loading Capacity

Unlike standard DAF units, the Sigtec DAF Unit is engineered to handle wastewater with higher solids concentrations. This makes it ideal for industries dealing with high volumes of solid waste, such as food processing plants or industrial wastewater facilities. By accommodating these demanding conditions, the Sigtec series ensures consistent and reliable performance, even under challenging circumstances.

4. Energy-Efficient and Cost-Effective

Aqualitec’s DAF unit for wastewater treatment offers an energy-efficient solution that reduces the operational costs typically associated with wastewater management. The advanced design of the Sigtec series ensures low energy consumption while still maintaining excellent separation efficiency. With its long-lasting and durable construction, the Sigtec DAF unit minimizes maintenance and replacement costs, offering a low total cost of ownership.

5. Customizable for Different Applications

The Sigtec DAF Unit is versatile and can be customized to meet the specific needs of different industries. Whether you are dealing with oily wastewater, sludge-laden effluent, or water with high organic content, the Sigtec system can be tailored to address your unique wastewater treatment challenges. This flexibility makes it a valuable solution for a wide range of applications.
