Micromac filtration develops DAF.Devon-based industrial filtration specialist, Micromac Filtration has extended its Dissolved Air Filtration (DAF) system to incorporate its chemicals and offer a single sophisticated solution to industrial customers. By offering a single point of supply for the market's most advanced Dissolved Air Flotation 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. The removal is achieved by dissolving air in the water or wastewater under pressure and then releasing the air at (DAF) system, which cleans the dirtiest of effluents, and also the cleansing chemicals needed within the system, Micromac has significantly reduced the stress, hassle and operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales that face many industrial operations in the UK. Micromac Filtration's DAF system represents a new and radically different approach to wastewater clarification. The DAF unit is designed to clarify liquids that are high in contaminants. It reduces fats, oil, grease and suspended solids Suspended solids refers to small solid particles which remain in suspension in water as a colloid or due to the motion of the water. It is used as one indicator of water quality. in wastewater by more than 90 percent, as well as significantly reducing the chemical oxygen demand and biological oxygen demand in wastewater. By offering a range of chemicals for use in combination with its DAF system, Micromac can assure optimum performance of its DAF units under any conditions. Entirely UK designed and manufactured, this stainless steel stainless steel: see steel. stainless steel Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat. constructed unit features a self-supporting design means it can be transported to the site, dropped into position and fully commissioned within two to three weeks. Micromac's DAF unit injects flocculants into the effluent stream in order to coagulate coagulate /co·ag·u·late/ (-lat) to undergo coagulation. co·ag·u·late v.

Then, a dissolved air saturation vessel injects a continuous stream of micro-bubbles into the flotation tank flotation tank a once-popular, but now little used, technique of suspending a horse in a harness in a tank filled with water for long periods while a limb bone fracture healed; still used for brief periods of several days for lesser injuries. . The bubbles attach to the particulates, causing the coagulated co·ag·u·late v. co·ag·u·lat·ed, co·ag·u·lat·ing, co·ag·u·lates v.tr.

These are skimmed off the surface for disposal and the clarified water exits over a weir. This approach has a number of advantages for industrial application. The system is freestanding, has a very compact footprint and has very few moving parts Moving parts are the components of a device that undergo continuous or frequent motion, most commonly rotation. "Parts" only include the mechanical components which does not include fuel, or any other gas or liquid. . Power consumption is low and the system is easily maintained with minimal operational outages. Using purpose developed chemicals Micromac staff can comprehensively test the customer's effluent prior to system installation to ensure that the system is suited to the need. They can predict the performance of the process and provide supporting data prior to machine supply. As part of the after-sales PPM, Micromac engineers make regular planned visits to the customer and assess the effluent and test chemical performance. If the effluent changes in character, Micromac can adjust the chemical cocktail to suit the new effluent. Contact Micromac Filtration on tel 01237 478014 or visit www.micromacfiltration.ltd.uk |
