Aerofloat system for management and treatment of production wastewater

Click2Contact

Aerofloat has developed a system to manage and treat production wastewater from the food industry. The Aerofloat unit is compact, easy to maintain, has low power requirements and produces a high-quality effluent to meet regulatory standards.

Aerofloat has installed a number of projects for newly built food processing manufacturing facilities, and the unit is also suitable for existing sites that are consistently exceeding their trade waste licence. It provides an affordable solution to comply with the regulatory requirements.

The Aerofloat product uses a version of the well-known water treatment process called dissolved air flotation (or DAF). Unlike traditional DAF systems, which use large and expensive mechanical scrapers to remove solids, Aerofloat’s patent-pending 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 Aerofloat products range in treatment capacity from 7 to 800 L/min.

Pre-treatment of trade wastewater by a system based on the DAF principle is a commonly used best practice option where grease arrestors or other simple passive pre-treatment devices are inadequate.
