Why Buy a DAF System?

  1. Most efficient footprint in the industry. Small footprint, maximum surface area.
  2. Fewer moving parts. We do not need a bottom auger as most traditional systems still use.
  3. Industrial-strength American-made pumps ensure trouble-free operation. We understand industrial wastewater and how critical pump reliability is in the field.
  4. Utilizes settling tubes to greatly enhance surface area and sludge separation time.
  5. Air scouring for automatic settling tube cleaning.
  6. Sludge grating providing enhanced thickening with a variable-speed counter-current scraper.
  7. We will meet or exceed your discharge limits.
  8. Traditional DAF aeration enhanced with our proprietary technology embeds air bubbles into the sludge.
  9. Can be enhanced to a fully integrated treatment system on a single skid. Fully integrated flocculation tubes, chemical feed pumps, control panel, and more are all pre-wired and pre-tested.
  10. Fully designed and fabricated in-house in our USA factory using exacting standards.
