High Efficiency Shallow Dissolved Air Flotation System is a high-efficiency shallow dissolved air flotation unit designed for rapid separation of suspended solids, oils, and greases from wastewater.
Its shallow tank configuration and optimized air dispersion deliver stable clarification performance with a reduced footprint.
High-Efficiency Shallow Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) System
High Efficiency Shallow DAF system utilizes dissolved air flotation technology combined with a shallow tank design to enhance flotation efficiency.
By generating fine air bubbles that attach to suspended solids and oils, the system enables rapid flotation and effective separation under varying operating conditions.
Key Features

System Placement
• Installed after primary screening or equalization as a solid-liquid separation stage
• Can be positioned before filtration or membrane systems to reduce load
• Often integrated upstream of biological treatment to improve efficiency
Typical Applications
• Industrial wastewater pretreatment (food, dairy, textile, plating, etc.)
• Oil/water separation in refinery and petrochemical effluents
• High-load suspended solids removal for municipal plants
• Stormwater and runoff clarification
• Pre-treatment for membrane systems (UF/RO) and tertiary polishing
HSDAF System Process Overview

Step 1 – Influent Distribution
Wastewater enters the flotation tank and is evenly distributed across the inlet zone.
Step 2 – Air Dissolution & Release
Pressurized water saturated with air is released, forming fine microbubbles.
Step 3 – Flotation Separation
Microbubbles attach to suspended solids and oils, lifting them to the surface.
Step 4 – Sludge Removal
Floated sludge is continuously skimmed and discharged for further handling.
Step 5 – Clarified Effluent Discharge
Clarified water exits the system for downstream treatment or discharge.
