Food and beverage wastewater is a significant concern for restaurants, food processing plants, and beverage manufacturers. This waste contains high levels of organic matter, oils, and chemicals that can harm the environment if not treated properly. Food service establishments often face challenges with wastewater treatment systems due to hydraulic and organic overloading. The strength and composition […]

Understanding FOG in Wastewater Treatment   Introduction   In the realm of environmental engineering and water management, the concept of FOG—an acronym for fats, oils, and grease—plays a significant role, especially in wastewater treatment systems. As urbanization accelerates and populations grow, wastewater generation has become an inevitable challenge. Within this challenge lies the issue of […]

Packed column DAF, or Dissolved Air Flotation, is an innovative water treatment technology that efficiently separates contaminants from water. DAF systems are particularly effective for the removal of solids, oils, and greases that are lighter than water and thus can be floated to the surface with the aid of fine air bubbles. Packed column DAF […]

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a water treatment process that clarifies wastewater by the removal of suspended matter such as oil, grease, or solids. The removal is achieved by dissolving air in the water or wastewater under pressure and then releasing the air at atmospheric pressure in a flotation tank or basin. The released air […]
