Water & Oil Flocculants
The Sionix DAF system is a “complete” treatment system, or “turn-key package plant”, meaning all equipment necessary to treat raw source water, including waste water and salt water, and produce finished potable water, is in one package. Sionix utilizes a “plug-n-play” design so that each unit shipped is manufactured to customer requirements. This also allows internal or external modules to be added or removed should conditions require in the future.
The Sionix treatment train begins with injection of pH-adjusting chemicals (if necessary) to the raw water stream, followed by injection of coagulants into static mixers. Once the coagulant is thoroughly mixed, water enters the flocculation tank, where particles agglomerate to create floc.
The water flow continues through the floc tank into the DAF flotation tank, where dissolved air is released into the water. This is where microscopic bubbles attach to the floc and float it to the surface.
The sludge that accumulates on the surface of the flotation tank is called “float”. Waste float is removed by a mechanical skimmer that places it onto a “traveling beach.” The beach lifts the waste out of the water which is then dumped into the sludge disposal tank. The water is now clarified and can be pumped through pressure filters or membrane (RO) as a final filtration stage, which is followed by Sionix' optional ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system.
