Standard Specifications

OPERATION AND APPLICATION - SAF™ outperforms DAF because each Suspended Air™ bubble is a working bubble, with an electrically-charged surfactant film ready to attach and stick to oppositely-charged floc particles. This results in extremely high rise rates and a stable float characteristic, and makes it possible to operate a flotation process at 10 times the hydraulic loading rate and 10 times the solids loading rate of DAF.

An existing DAF can be retrofitted: Suspended Air™ Emulsion Generators are replacing DAF pressurization systems, increasing the hydraulic and solids loading capacity of an existing DAF flotation tank by 3 to 4 times without increasing footprint and without modifying the existing tank. Generally, retrofits have the added benefit of reducing connected HP.



STANDARD FEATURES - Unit is supplied pre-piped and pre-wired, with removable side and top cover panels, a NEMA 4X control panel, and connection points for electrical power, makeup water, frothing agent, and emulsion output.

Sealed Generator Module: Stainless Steel, fully seal welded, carrying an extended warranty of ten (10) years against defects in materials or workmanship. Patented technology.

Frothing Agent Metering Pump: Pulsed-diaphragm type, manual stroke length adjustment. Control signal input for pulse frequency adjustment proportional to emulsion flow rate.



FEATURES AND OPTIONS

Instrumentation and Controls: Polypropylene Hall-effect flow sensor, flow rate and totalized flow display, and control signal output. Float and solenoid water level control. “Warmup” time delay on emulsion output solenoid valve.

Recycle Pump: Rotary lobe or gear positive displacement pump coupled to a 3 phase 460v electric motor with electronic variable speed drive and gear reducer. Single phase 230v motors available as an option on Models F8 and F25.
