Dear Vishakha, DAF is a successful technology in replacement of Sedimentation Tanks (Primary Clarifiers)as requires lesser space and efficient in removing TSS (by coagulation+flocculation). Applications of DAF are mostly in Wastewater Streams and also the reasons it requires lesser space than Sedimentation Tanks; Wastewater Treatment Plants in General Oil Refinery Waste Treatment in collaboration with CPI Edible Oil Mills removal of Oil from Wastewater Stream Recovery of Pulp from Paper Mills Wastewater Streams In wastewater treatment plants where there is space constraints For Fresh or Sea Water, most of the times we need to remove Sand/Silt and some cases Algae. We employ Primary Sedimentation+Multimedia Filter+Micron Filter and then Ultra-Filtration+Reverse Osmosis. In cases we can employ DAF System for Algae/Silt/Sand Removal then Multimedia Filters+Micron Filters+UF+RO. Should you need any detailed description of DAF system, I can provide it to you then. Thank you, Engr. Mansoor Ahmed PhD. Scholar - Environmental Engineering
