Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Applications with HydroFLOW®
HydroFLOW® enhances Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) by applying non-chemical flocculation to the waste stream, lowering chemical flocculant consumption. It optimises solid-liquid separation, improves effluent quality, and minimises maintenance costs in wastewater treatment and industrial applications.
Optimising Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) with HydroFLOW®
Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is widely used for separating suspended solids, oils, and grease from water in industries such as wastewater treatment, food processing, and mining. However, its operation requires the use of chemical flocculants and coagulants such as polyacrylamides or alum, which then go into the waste stream and can be expensive.
HydroFLOW® provides an innovative, non-chemical solution to optimise DAF systems. By enhancing particle aggregation, HydroFLOW® reduces reliance on polymers and coagulants. HydroFLOW® ensures better separation, improved effluent clarity, and lower operational expenses.

HydroFLOW® Solutions for Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF): Clarity, Efficiency, and Reduced Chemicals
Enhances Flocculation & Reduces Polymer Consumption
Efficient flocculation is essential for DAF performance. HydroFLOW® enhances natural particle aggregation, improving solid-liquid separation and reducing the need for polymers and chemical coagulants.
Enhances fine particle aggregation, improving flotation efficiency
Reduces polymer and coagulant usage, lowering chemical costs
Improves sludge dewatering and reduces waste volume
Supports environmentally friendly water treatment processes
Treats Mineral Scaling in DAF Equipment
Mineral deposits can build up on DAF system components, reducing efficiency and increasing maintenance. HydroFLOW® treats scale by keeping minerals in suspension, preventing hard deposits from forming.
Treats scaling on air diffusers, pipes, and flotation tanks
Maintains consistent air bubble production for effective separation
Reduces maintenance frequency and extends system longevity
Optimises DAF efficiency by ensuring unrestricted flow
Improves Effluent Quality & Water Reuse Potential
DAF systems are commonly used to produce cleaner effluent water for discharge or reuse. HydroFLOW® optimises separation efficiency, reducing the presence of suspended solids, oils, and organic matter in treated water.
Enhances removal of suspended solids, oils, and grease
Improves effluent clarity, meeting regulatory discharge standards
Reduces sludge carryover, improving downstream water quality
Supports water recycling and reuse initiatives
Reduces Maintenance Costs & Downtime
DAF systems require frequent maintenance due to fouling, scaling, and sludge accumulation. HydroFLOW® minimises these issues, reducing the need for cleaning, maintenance, and system downtime.
Reduces mechanical wear and tear by reducing fouling in pumps and pipes
Decreases the frequency of maintenance interventions
Reduces costly shutdowns for cleaning and repairs
Lowers overall lifecycle costs of DAF systems
