Wastewater Treatment

Wastewater treatment plants for both municipal and industrial applications are designed to produce a clean, safe water discharge, usually to a river. Complexity of the plant depends on the immediate environmental considerations and consent limits negotiated with authorities. New plants built today are more and more sophisticated, making the decanter centrifuge ideal for precise wastewater treatment.

DAF Wastewater Treatment and Sludge Dewatering

DAF wastewater equipment from US Centrifuge Systems provides effective liquid-solid separation and solids dewatering technologies for DAF wastewater treatment and DAF water filtration.

DAF (dissolved air flotation) systems are a means for treating wastewater by removing solids or waste oils. With the wastewater in a tank, dissolved air is released into the water. The air forms small bubbles, which "grab" the solid or waste oil particles and float them to the top of the liquid. Solids are then scraped from the top of the basin. The DAF process can be combined with the use of chemicals to coagulate solids prior to the application of dissolved air.

DAF systems are also referred to as DAF pumps and are used with food processor industries, oil refineries, and chemical plants. Solids from DAF systems are usually wet, sloppy and expensive to handle. US Centrifuge Systems provides an effective means for solids dewatering for DAF wastewater treatment.

Centrifuges are effective pieces of equipment for dewatering solids skimmed off most DAF wastewater systems. Centrifuges provide cost saving advantages:

  • 70% reduction of total disposal volume
  • Produces stackable cake-like sludge
  • Reduces handling costs
  • Increases options for sludge disposal

With the widest range of liquid-liquid and liquid-solid separation, solids dewatering, centrifuge liquid filtration and fluid clarification technologies, US Centrifuge Systems can provide a complete process solution for dewatering DAF sludge.
