The removal of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) is a significant concern in onsite wastewater treatment systems, especially in the food and beverages industry. If not properly managed, FOG can cause blockages in pipes, degrade wastewater treatment performance, and harm the environment.
Dissolved Air Floatation (DAF) is one of commonly used FOG removal technologies; particularly effective in ensuring compliance with discharge limits.
DAF is a highly efficient solution in wastewater treatment plants to remove emulsified or dissolved fats, oils and grease, along with suspended solids. By introducing fine air bubbles into the wastewater, a floating mass of FOG is created, that can be skimmed off the surface.
Ensuring the removal of FOG reduces the overall BOD, therefore helping facilities comply with discharge limits for organic pollution.
The small footprint of DAF systems makes them ideal for onsite wastewater treatment. Their compact design allows easy integration into existing facilities without requiring major space modifications.
DAF systems can be scaled to meet specific treatment needs without taking up excessive space, making them suitable for various facility sizes.
