Compact dissolved air flotation system

Compact dissolved-air flotation system and decentralized

  • Up to 250 m³/h
  • Pre-assembled and tested: ready to operate within 24 hours
  • Integrated Physical-Chemical Treatment Unit
  • Includes electrical panel, wiring, connections, and piping

Our compact DAF system arrives at the customer’s facility fully assembled and pre-tested at the factory. The DAF unit, the electrical panel, and the entire physicochemical process are integrated and interconnected on a skid. This equipment is designed to provide immediate performance in contaminant separation, taking up minimal space and simplifying installation and operation as much as possible.

The main advantage of our decentralized dissolved-air flotation systems is that they minimize installation work and allow for quick, easy, and safe startup. In many cases, the equipment can begin operating in less than 24 hours after it arrives at the customer's facility.

A compact, decentralized DAF system is an ideal solution for industries seeking to eliminate construction work, reduce installation time, and have a DAF unit that operates automatically and continuously, with minimal operator intervention and low maintenance requirements.

  • Available in corrosion-resistant materials.

Separation Efficiency of Our Compact DAF Units

The compact DAF systems manufactured by Sigmadaf offer excellent performance in removing organic matter, solids, fats, and other contaminants from wastewater.

ParametersReduction efficiency
BOD550% - 75%
COD50% - 75%
Total suspended solids85% - 95%
Turbidity 85% - 95%
Total phosphorus 60% - 90%
Total nitrogen 30% - 50%
Oils and grease  80% - 95%

The stated efficiency is based on the entire physicochemical process (coagulation–flocculation) as well as the proper selection and optimal dosing of chemicals. (beyond our control)

FULLY INTEGRATED TEAM

UP TO 15 m³/h

Complete system, including the DAF equipment, the chemical process, and all components mounted and integrated on a compact skid.

DAF UNIT + PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL SKID

MORE THAN 15 m³/h

The DAF unit is supplied separately from the coagulation-flocculation skid to facilitate transport and installation.

DAF UNIT + FLOCULATION TANK

LONGER RETENTION TIME

Ideal when a longer retention time is needed for coagulation-flocculation processes due to the characteristics of the influent.

Available Materials

Stainless steel AISI 304

AISI 304 stainless steel is the standard material used in the construction of all our compact DAF systems.

Upon customer request, they can be manufactured from AISI 316 stainless steel.

How does a DAF Compact system work?

Compact dissolved air flotation systems have no difference in operation compared to standard DAF equipment.

They are equipment of high operational and economical efficiency, thanks to their ease of installation and use. The user, by means of a simple operation, only has to adjust the chemical dosage and pump flow rates through a complete and intuitive control system.

The working parameters are adjusted from a PLC system with remote control option.

Advantages of the DAF FPACDissolved Air Flotation System

  • Immediate startup: The equipment is ready for operation upon delivery; it only requires an electrical connection and reagent adjustment.
  • Quick installation: Pre-assembled design that eliminates complex on-site assembly work.
  • Cost reduction: Shorter installation time and lower construction and engineering costs.
  • Guaranteed Performance: All systems are pre-tested and pre-calibrated to ensure reliable, stable, and efficient operation from day one.

WHY CHOOSE A COMPACT DAF SYSTEM FROM SIGMADAF?

Compact DAF systems, also known as Plug & Play systems, integrate the main equipment and components required for the flotation process into a single unit, significantly reducing installation and commissioning work at the plant. Their compact, prefabricated design, which is ready for quick connection, makes them a particularly suitable solution for projects with space constraints or tight deadlines, as well as for expansions and upgrades of existing plants.
