In-Filter Dissolved Air Flotation
When paired with AWC’s dissolved air flotation (DAF) technology, AWC’s In-Filter DAF offers significant footprint savings. With AWC’s In-Filter technology, media filtration is placed directly within the DAF clarifier basin. In addition to footprint savings there are significant capital cost savings. AWC is the only manufacturer that offers the In-Filter DAF in a modular package plant.
Features:
- Significantly reduced plant footprint
- Significant capital cost savings
- Fully automated and integrated with DAF system
