Microfloat Dispersed Air Flotation (DAF) System

Since 1982, Newterra has been installing its superior Dispersed Air Flotation technology around the globe. Ideal for industrial applications, our AIRE-02 Microfl oat System is an effective, affordable, and reliable physical/chemical pre-treatment technology for removing up to 90% free-floating FOG, 60% TSS, and 30% BOD* – all at a much lower cost than traditional Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) systems.

Get Started

Product Overview

An elegant design that eliminates non-value added equipment like compressors, pumps, and recirculation equipment compared to traditional DAF solutions, the Microfloat System simply disperses the air using a high RPM, 2900 RPM 50Hz and 3600 RPM 60Hz, aspirator directly into the DAF tank. The DAF has a specially designed non-clog spinning disc diff user that creates fine microbubbles (10-50 microns in diameter), allowing for high removal efficiencies. The complete Microfloat DAF system uses only two motors; the Microfloat aerator motor and the scum/rake drive. The Microfloat DAF system does not require an external recycle line.

Features

A specially designed non-clog spinning disc diffuser creates fine microbubbles (10-50 microns in diameter)
Eliminates recycle pumps, compressors, and attendant piping associated with traditional DAF equipment
Small bubbles result in high removal efficiencies
New complete custom designs (with skimmers and tankage) or retrofits into existing tankage

Benefits

Reduced install / capex costs
Reduces surcharges by municipalities for disposal
Reduces maintenance and energy consumption
More reliable under a variety of conditions, the AIRE-O2 solution requires no balancing of flow rates
Backed by the AIRE-O2 legacy for reliability and ease of use

Uses

Food preparation
Vegetable oil processing
Slaughterhouse operations
Milk and dairy processing
Petrochemical processing
Paper industry
Sludge thickening for municipalities
Tank and truck washing facilities
