Texas DAF: 50% Less Chemical, 6x Cleaning Interval

Home 9 Case Studies and Results 9 Texas DAF: 50% Less Chemical, 6x Cleaning Interval
Key results
50% polymer and chlorine cut
6x longer cleaning interval
Improved TSS separation

Case Study from HydroFLOW USA

The Challenges

  • Recirculating wastewater had a murky appearance
  • Microbial contamination causing strong foul odours
  • Chlorine and polymer dosing needing reduction
  • Cleaning and water replacement too frequent

The Solution

One HydroFLOW® i150 unit was fitted to the 6″ wastewater circulating pipe entering the DAF tank for a 14-week evaluation. The signal improves flocculation, so suspended solids separate more cleanly, extending the cleaning cycle and cutting chemical demand.

Key Outcomes

R

Polymer and chlorine use cut by roughly 50%

R

Better TSS separation and drier cake

R

Cleaning cycle extended from 1 to 6 weeks

R

Foul odour reduced dramatically

Independent Verification

All results in this study were measured and verified by third-party facilities managers and technical staff.
