Siltbuster Packaged Lamella Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Units

Siltbuster’s range of Packaged Lamella Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) units are ideal for the removal of Solids, Fats, Oils and Greases (FOGs) from industrial waste water and hydrocarbons on environmental remediation projects.

Using established solids/liquid separation technology, the DAF units generate “whitewater” by dissolving air under pressure and then releasing the pressure to form microfine air bubbles.

Solids and other particulates preferentially attach to the air bubbles and rise to the surface of the DAF unit where they are collected, thickened and removed by a motorised scraper.

Treated water can then be reused or discharged off site as necessary. The Siltbuster DAF units are avalible to hire to purchase, depending on your requirements.

Advantages of a Siltbuster DAF unit

  • Lamella plate technology increases the effective area of the unit giving an enhanced hydaulic capacity

  • A multi-phase side channel pump generates the “whitewater” in the unit and eliminates the need for a separate compressor and air saturation vessel – just plug in the power and start the operation

  • Sturdy and compact with a significantly smaller footprint than most conventional units, they are easily transportable and available to rent

  • All units can be provided with integral access platforms and chemical dosing systems, pipe flocculators, etc.

The Siltbuster range has been specifically designed for mobility and provides clients with a range of readily available equipment to:

  • Augment existing treatment capacity during periods of abnormal loading

  • Provide emergency treatment facilities in the event of equipment failure

  • Provide temporary treatment whilst the facility is taken off line for repair/maintenance

  • Enables large scale pilot plant trials
