Case study
Custom Redundant DAF Systems for Plastics Manufacturing Process Water
Ecologix designed and fabricated two custom E-510 DAF systems for a plastics manufacturer to treat lake water with high TSS and TDS, ensuring 500 GPM capacity and full redundancy.
The Challenge
A plastics manufacturer required a robust wastewater treatment solution to process water sourced from a local lake for industrial reuse. Raw lake water presented significant variability and high loading of silt and minerals.
The Ecologix Solution
The client required a fully redundant system capable of hitting a peak 500 GPM flow rate. Ecologix delivered a skidded integration featuring two specialized DAF units designed for maximum reliability.
Dual E-510 DAF Systems
- Material: 304 Stainless Steel for long-term corrosion resistance.
- Capacity: 722 ft² surface area per unit (462 GPM rated).
- Redundancy: Dual-skid setup allows for maintenance without facility downtime.
Advanced Pre-Treatment
Paired with FLT-860 Flocculation Tube Systems, the solution ensures optimal chemical mixing and pH control. Featuring Siemens PLC/HMI automation and Goulds i-FRAME process pumps, the system offers seamless SCADA integration.
Results & Performance
By utilizing pre-built skidded systems, Ecologix met an aggressive 3-week turnaround on equipment delivery. The facility now handles a peak sludge volume of approximately 7,488 GPD at 4% solids concentration, ensuring clean, recycled water for the production line.
