DAF system for removal of pigments, paints and dyes from waste water

Scenario

Start-up of industrial wastewater treatment plant to remove pigments, paints and dyes from water.

Wastewater treatment in a pigment, dye and paint production process is complex due to the necessary removal of heavy metals present in the water.

For this project, in which a DAF-FPBC50 was installed, the treatment of this complex water consists of ammonium removal by stripping followed by a dissolved air flotation (DAF) system, after addition of lime, coagulant and flocculant.

This process results in a significant reduction of heavy metals and fluorides, allowing the treated water to be discharged directly into the sea.

 

The treatment plant treats this wastewater, eliminating the pigments and suspended solids present and thus allowing its subsequent discharge into the sea with total guarantee.

The application of the SIGMADAF System as heavy metal removal equipment, using lime slurry, offers very high performance and facilitates subsequent sludge management.

Here we can see the performance of the DAF-FPBC50 in terms of suspended solids and pigment removal.

The beaker on the left contains a sample of the wastewater to be treated and the one on the right contains a sample of the water leaving the flotation equipment.

The SIGMADAF DAF-FPBC50 water purification equipment has the following features has the following particular characteristics:

• Processing of polluted waters of low or medium load, including those containing particles of low buoyancy.
• Compact system
• Unique sludge dewatering and disposal system, producing a large sludge concentrate.
• Efficient laminar flow regime
• Low maintenance and easy to operate
• Customizable

This purification equipment can also be used in the following industrial activities:

• Meat industries
• Textile production
• Processing plants
• Oil industry

The main advantage, among others, of using DAF-FPBC50 in the Pigment Industry is the better clarification performance compared to conventional treatments for the removal of water with high concentration of solids, colorants, fluorides, etc.
