With water being more and more costly due to scarcity, more operators become aware that not only is reusing treated wastewater
wastewate
cost efficient but also key to sustain our environment. As these drilling locations can be sometimes far away from cities and water
sources are therefore many miles away, water can be very expensive. This makes it even more important to reuse water. In addition
addi
to that, the drilling companies become less dependent on outside sources that control the water
water.
Options:
Containerised
Skid mounted
pH adjustment module
Precipitation module
Flocculation module
GSM/Remote monitoring
Functionality:
The ClearFox flotation plant is fully automatic. A specific, clog-free helical rotor pump leads the water from
the collection container (collection tank or skimming tank provided by the customer) to the reactor.
The wastewater flows through a pH-regulation section where pH-fluctuations are compensated. Then,
wastewater flows continuously into the reactor. Additives are developed in a polymer preparation station in
order to aid the flocculation and flotation process.
These are mixed fully automatically into the inflowing waste water with flocculators. A multiphase pump
saturates the outlet of the water continuously with air, which is then recirulated into the reactor. The pressure
release causes a flotation of the floatable particles. These accumulate in the upper section of the reactor and
are separated by a self cleaning process, or with a scraper for special applications. Flotation sludge is
removed via a cone-shaped opening with compressed air.
Operation:
The plant is fully automated and depending on the waste water flow, a high quality effluent quality is
achieved at all times. The system is very robust, and uses no clearing devices with movable chains or
scrapers (needing lubricants etc.), that require constant maintenance.
The Systems have proven their reliability in many industries over the years, particularly in the food industry.
Cleaning efficiency:
The Cleaning-efficiency depends on how high the degradation rate of the waste water is and operator
behavior.
The effluent is largely free from fats and purified to an indirect discharge quality, pH 6.5-7, COD 1.500 mg /
l, BOD 1.000 mg / l, TSS 500 mg / l. There is no change in temperature as a result of the process, and the
effluent quality is suitable for biological post-cleaning.
Typical cleaning performances in the milk / meat industry in the DELIVERY / PROCESS are as an example
[mg / l] COD ZU: 3000-7000 / AB: 1000-1500, BOD ZU: 2000-3500 / AB: 700-1000, TSS ZU: 300-700 /
AB: 250-500
Installation:
The DAF System includes:
flotation reactor
feed pump eccentric screw for inflow
feed pump eccentric screw for sludge feed
small interim sludge storage tank
dosing / mixing line
polymer mixing station
dosing pumps (2 x)
suction lances for chemical canister
multiphase pump
pH neutralization
room aerator and heater (frost protection)
control unit
If not installed in a container, the scope of supply consists of three parts that can be set up freely and are
mounted on skids. These parts (pump station, flotation station, dosing station), as well as the control cabinet,
can be easily transported with forklifts.
The base area for the system components must be firm and level (foundations), the environment dry,
covered, dew protected; in closed structures with multiple air changes according to the regional regulations.
Consumer materials:
In order to regulate the pH in the water, acids or alkalics are added into the system. The system also has a
metering system for fission products (flocculant) and polymer (flocculant-help). The specific consumption is
determined in the laboratory and this is optimized by us after the start up of system.
Residues, sludge:
In the ClearFox® dissolved air flotation system, fats and oils along with other dissolved substances which
are extracted, are removed from the wastewater as flotation sludge. The resulting amount is dependent on the
concentration of such substances in the wastewater. It can be assumed that about 40 to 60 liters of flotation
sludge per m³ of wastewater are produced at average concentrations. This is approximately 4 to 6 % of the
volume of the waste water entering the DAF system.
The flotation sludge further dehydrates during storage, thus the longer it is stored, the less water content the
sludge has. It is recommended to use enclosed structures /systems to avoid odour problems.
Retrofitting: Yes
Functionality:
The plant always includes:
In the FBS there are free floating support medium (small plastic form parts) or particles (produced from UV-stabilized
polyethylene), on which bacteria grow. A biological layer (micro-organic colonization) forms on this medium after a start-up
period. The biofilm which consists mainly of aerobic organisms, transforms the organic contaminants contained in the wastewater
into sedimentary and mineral substances. The wastewater is serrated intermittently and the aeration system installed in the tank
supplies the organisms with sufficient oxygen and in addition, the aeration process causes a current that moves the fluid containing
the biofilm medium and the entire content of the reactor is blended.
This technology requires no rotating parts in the wastewater. Return sludge is transported via maintenance-free airlift-pump,
operated with compressed air. The blower supplying the oxygen is placed outside the container near the control cabinet.
Application Size:
There is no limit or restriction on the size of the project
that our containerised systems can be utilized for, as the
system is modular.
