The high efficiency Air Mixing System is an essential complement to a dissolved air floatation system. More control over microbubble size distribution and greater dissolved air volume than conventional air dissolving systems. This advanced equipment will reduce chemical consumption and energy costs while increasing the effectiveness of dissolved air flotation. Ideal for retrofitting and upgrading existing rectangular and round clarifiers, these air dissolving systems are sold as pre-packaged modules.
Eleven models with capacities from 26 G.P.M. to 1000 G.P.M. All models can be piped in series for unlimited capacity.


Every SAF™ bubble is a working bubble.

Each coated suspended bubble binds electrostatically with polymer molecules of opposite charge on the flocculated solids, forming a much stronger bond than is possible with a plain air bubble. Much less air is necessary to float solids with SAF™. Experience with many wastewaters has shown that with SAF™, an air-to-solids percentage (weight to weight) of 1% is sufficient for treatment for solids of practically any concentration, compared with a minimum requirement of 2% for competing technologies, rising to as much as 15% for applications with suspended solids concentrations 2,000 mg/L and higher. This translates directly into a better and better footprint advantage for SAF™ for applications with higher solids concentrations.

One of the most remarkable things about SAF™ flotation is the gelatin-like consistency of the floated solids. Typically, solids floated by other technologies are "sloppy" and require additional high doses of polymer to be dewatered further. In contrast, SAF™ floated solids, with air bubbles firmly attached inside, appear "rubbery" as though high doses of polymer were added. These solids will not sink during periods when the flotation process is not operating, allowing the process to re-start automatically.

SAF™ is versatile and cost-effective.

Suspended Air™ Emulsion generators operate at a modest 20 psi pressure. A DAF pressurizes the recycle flow to 60 - 80 psi. Suspended Air™ Emulsion generators use standard, easily-maintained components such as air-powered double diaphragm pumps. Others use specialized, high speed components. The SAF™ process runs automatically, saving operating labor.

Although SAF™ requires an additional chemical, it is a non-toxic, easily-metered liquid product costing less than $0.03 per thousand gallons treated. The chemical cost is typically less than the cost of additional power to run competing systems.

SAF™ can rescue an overloaded flotation process, saving capital dollars and installation time. Complete SAF™ systems cost less than competing systems, and fit in much less space. Slow-speed gravity drainage belts for SAF™ solids dewatering are available as an option.
