Aerofloat wastewater treatment unit

The compact Aerofloat unit has been designed to meet the needs of wastewater treatment in the food industry. The unit is compact, easy to maintain, has low power requirements and produces a high-quality effluent to meet regulatory standards.

The unit uses a version of the water treatment process called dissolved air flotation (DAF). Unlike traditional DAF systems which use large and expensive mechanical scrapers to remove solids, Aerofloat’s technology hydraulically raises the water level in the sealed, odourless DAF tank, pushing the floated pollutants off the top of the tank via a pipeline into the waste holding tank.

The unit can remove up to 97% suspended solids and 97% oil and grease from the waste stream. The larger Aerofloat 3500 system, which treats up to 3500 L/h, has all the key elements of smaller units, including compactness, ease of maintenance, minimal power draw and, due to its mechanical simplicity, it is claimed to be more affordable than a conventional DAF treatment plant.

The Aerofloat unit is suitable for companies consistently exceeding their trade waste licence.
