Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is a water treatment process that is highly effective in the removal of suspended solids (TSS), fats/oils & grease (FOG), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and other contaminants from water. It is particularly effective in situations where conventional sedimentation methods are less efficient. Here’s a breakdown of what DAF is and its primary uses: Air Dissolution: In DAF, air is dissolved into water under pressure in a specialized tank, saturation tube or pump. Pressure Release: When this pressurized water is injected into the flotation vessel, the pressure drops which releases the dissolved air as tiny microbubbles. Flotation Mechanism: These microbubbles attach to suspended particles and contaminants, causing them to rise to the surface. Skimming: The accumulated material (sludge or float) at the surface is skimmed off, while the clarified water is collected from below. What Are Some Uses of DAF? DAF is used in a variety of applications, including: Industrial Water Treatment: In industries such as food and beverage, oil and gas, and pulp and paper, to treat process water and wastewater. Municipal Wastewater Treatment: To remove solids, algae, phosphorus and other contaminants before further treatment or discharge. Sludge Thickening: DAF is used thicken biological sludge, reducing the overall sludge volume reducing transportation, handling and disposal costs. Drinking Water Purification: To remove algae, particulates, and other contaminants from source water. Pre-treatment: As a pre-treatment step for more advanced treatment processes, enhancing overall efficiency. Stormwater Management: To treat runoff and reduce pollutants before discharge. Does FRC Provide Rentals or Pilots? With the largest Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) rental fleet in the US and equipment ranging from 10–3,000 gpm, we can tailor a solution to your needs. All FRC rental equipment is available for short-term and long-term rental agreements as well as pilot testing and long-term lease agreements. FRC rental systems and stand-alone equipment are installed in a “plug-and-play” configuration for ease of installation and start-up. Once in place on-site, the unit can be operational within a matter of hours. What is a Flocculator? A Flocculator from FRC Systems is designed to provide the necessary mixing action and retention time to chemically treat wastewater. Here’s how it works: Coagulation: Coagulants are added to the wastewater to break emulsions and form micro-flocs. Flocculation: Flocculants are then added to agglomerate these micro-flocs into larger, more robust macro-flocs. Mixing: Mixing: The flocculator ensures proper mixing energy required by the chemicals and maintains the integrity of the flocs, which is crucial for effective separation in the subsequent Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) process. FRC Systems offers both Plug-Flow Reactors (PFR) and Continuous-Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTR) as flocculators, each designed to optimize the chemical treatment process. What is the difference between the PCL, PCCS and PWL? The main differences between PWL, PCL, and PCCS Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) systems from FRC Systems lie in their design and application: PWL (Open-Tank DAF System): Design: Open tank, low-built separators with side walls typically 8 to 10.5 feet tall. Application: Better suited for high solids loading rates. The skimmer assembly rotates against the hydraulic flow, shortening sludge skimming distance and eliminating solids carry-over. PCL (High-Rate DAF System): Design: Features corrugated plate packs that increase the effective separation area, allowing for a smaller footprint. Application: Ideal for high hydraulic loads with lower solids loading rates. The plate packs help maintain laminar flow and increase effective separation area which increases overall system performance. PCCS (High-Rate DAF System): Design: Similar to PCL, the PCCS features a high-rate design and corrugated plate packs. However, the PCCS is specifically designed to fit within a shipping container, making it easily transportable. Ideal for temporary or mobile wastewater treatment needs, such as remote locations or construction sites. Application: Efficient for removing Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG), and other pollutants from wastewater. Each system is tailored to specific wastewater treatment needs, with PWL being more suitable for higher solids content and PCL/PCCS for higher hydraulic loads. If you have a specific application in mind, I can help you determine which system might be the best fit! Is FRC a part of Sulzer?

All Products FRC Systems » Products System Upgrades PDF Product Sheet Solutions for Wastewater Treatment & Management Previous Product Next Product At FRC, we are always working to improve the performance of wastewater treatment systems. We can upgrade or refurbish existing FRC systems as well as those from other manufacturers. Some of these upgrades are designed to prolong the life of current systems by repairing components that have experienced wear-and-tear over the course of time. Others, like aeration and controls upgrades can be used to enhance and improve the performance of your treatment system. DAF Aeration Upgrade The aeration of a DAF is the heart and soul of the system. Our simple design works so well that we’re constantly retrofitting competitors’ DAFs with our upgraded aeration system. FRC is completely brand-agnostic with regards to the model of recycle pump used on our DAF. Recycle Pump FRC’s design uses the recycle pump to pump water, not dissolve air. That means these recycle pumps are much less costly than a specialty whitewater pump. The pumps are ideal for higher solids tolerance which can be crucial in applications with high amounts grit, sand, and dirt. It also allows you to choose the pump material of construction based on the needs of the environment, including ductile iron, Stainless Steel 316, and Duplex Stainless Steel. Air Dissolving Tube An air dissolving tube is used to generate white water in our aeration system. This short expansion in the recirculation piping allows clarified effluent and a small volume of compressed air to dissolve into the water. Our angled configuration allows for increased water and air interface, so saturation occurs almost instantly. Pneumatic Panel The pneumatic panel design for each DAF contains safety features to protect the recycle pumps and is also used to avoid discharging untreated wastewater as a process control measure. Control Panel Upgrade Over the course of time, existing panels may become unreliable or may no longer be capable of sufficient automation, forcing unnecessary operator intervention. We know that is not acceptable in today’s demanding production environments. In addition to our standard panel offerings, FRC can provide additional features for SCADA and plant integration. Know How FRC has a dedicated mechanical and electrical project team to design the electrical control panels for our systems in-house. Our expertise and familiarity with the equipment provides a solid know how of how the system works. We understand that time is money, and we have the experience to minimize and even eliminate downtown during the upgrade. SCADA Our panels can be upgraded to include Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) to trend and store data for the analysis sought after in today’s information driven facilities. Plant Integration FRC can customize your panel to allow for integration with Distributed Control System (DCS), centralized data historian, and remote monitoring solutions to deliver access to data anywhere and anytime.

All Projects FRC Systems » Projects Dairy Turnkey Solution Food & Beverage Solutions for Wastewater Treatment & Management Previous Project Next Project FRC Components Open-Style DAF, High-Rate DAF, Flocculator, Biological Treatment, MBBR Project Description FRC has been the trusted engineer to help manage the wastewater treatment needs for this Canadian based top ten worldwide dairy processor as they grow and expand across North America. This particular facility generates over 360,000 gallons of wastewater per day. The original wastewater treatment system design consisted of a biotower, a Continuous Waste Activated Sludge (CWAS) system, and a clarifier. Without proper pretreatment, Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) was able to enter the biotower, which destroyed the biomass, disrupting the CWAS system downstream. The clarifier was also hydraulically overloaded, resulting in poor performance. The FRC solution was to install a Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) unit as a pretreatment step and to increase biological treatment capacity by installing a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) system prior to the CWAS system. The MBBR system was designed with future expansion in mind and will eventually replace the CWAS system. Following biological treatment, FRC installed a secondary DAF unit for biomass separation. FRC was able to provide a complete turnkey solution, including the incorporation of controls, monitoring and automation into the existing Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The FRC Solution Primary Flocculator – Chemicals dosed to precipitate the colloidal solids and emulsified oils Primary High-Rate DAF – Float the precipitated solids yielding effluent ready for biological treatment Biological Treatment – MBBR used to remove soluble BOD and as a result it creates biosolids Secondary Flocculator – Short flocculator to precondition biosolids with flocculant Secondary Open-Style DAF – Float the biosolids, yielding clean effluent water Parameter Design Data Flow (gpm) 250 Flow (m3/h) 56.8 TSS (mg/L) 1235 FOG (mg/L) 1400 BOD (mg/L) 3450 Design Data Previous Project Next Project

All Products FRC Systems » Products Biologicial MBR PDF Product Sheet Solutions for Wastewater Treatment & Management Previous Product Next Product The FRC Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) system method uses submerged membranes rather than traditional clarification to remove bacteria solids in wastewater with biodegradable contaminants. This is done by letting bacteria grow in the wastewater to consume the contaminants, converting them to bacteria solids that can be more easily removed from the wastewater. MBR technology is frequently used to remove Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) from wastewater, and can also be used to remove nitrogen and nitrogen-based compounds, phosphorous, and some forms of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). FRC engineers can show you how MBR systems can be applied in a wide variety of industrial and municipal applications. Material of Construction FRC’s MBR systems can be installed in steel or concrete tanks. High-Quality Effluent The membranes in the MBR system are very effective at removing suspended solids from water, including biomass. As a result, the effluent from an MBR system results in a much lower suspended solids concentration than a traditional clarification method. Effluents from MBR systems can be re-used as plant service water, or with some further treatment such as disinfection, can be re-used as potable water or directly discharged into the pristine environment. Small Footprint The membrane tank in an MBR system generally has a much smaller footprint than a traditional clarifier designed for a biological system of the same size or rate.

All Products FRC Systems » Products PCL & PCCS Series High-Rate DAF PDF Product Sheet Solutions for Wastewater Treatment & Management Previous Product Next Product FRC PCL & PCCS Series high-rate Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) design provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for removing Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG), and other pollutants from your wastewater. On the surface the DAF process is straightforward – tiny bubbles attach to solid contaminants causing them to float. The sludge is then skimmed off the surface of the water. Designing a DAF system for a real-world application is a little more complicated. FRC’s highly skilled engineering team looks at the specific requirements of your application and creates the best solution specifically for your unique needs. Compact Footprint FRC’s PCCS DAF Systems are ideal for ocean shipping. These systems are designed to fit inside standard 20’ ISO shipping containers, allowing for standard rate shipping costs. Corrugated Plate Packs Inclined plate packs allow for influent wastewater to remain laminar. The plate packs improve the overall system performance by increasing the effective separation area of the DAF, thereby decreasing the hydraulic surface loading rate. This design allows for tanks with a significantly reduced footprint, saving valuable space in your wastewater treatment facility. Aeration System FRC uses an air dissolving tube to generate whitewater in our aeration system. The reasoning is simple. Air will never be introduced to a pump. This short expansion in the recirculation piping allows clarified effluent and a small volume of compressed air to mix until the air dissolves into the water. Our angled configuration allows for increased water and air interface, so saturation occurs almost instantly. FRC’s design uses a standard centrifugal pump to recycle water, not dissolve air. Recycle pumps provide a more efficient and cost-effective system than expensive whitewater pumps by providing higher solids tolerances, using more durable pump materials, and operating at lower pressures. Dewatering Grid The dewatering grid is a rectangular framework of angular steel plates that locks sludge in place as it rises to the surface. By holding the sludge in place, it allows for additional drying of the solids before being skimmed, reducing sludge disposal cost. The dewatering grid also eliminates the pre-mature migration of solids as well as eliminating re-entrainment of solids back into the DAF. Material of Construction FRC constructs our DAF units using high-end stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion, can be installed indoors or outdoors, and is extremely durable and long-lasting. Depending on the application, we can accommodate various alloys including Stainless Steel 316ti and Duplex Stainless Steel.

All Products FRC Systems » Products PWL Series Open-Style DAF PDF Product Sheet Solutions for Wastewater Treatment & Management Previous Product Next Product The FRC PWL Series dissolved air flotation (DAF) system is an open tank, low-built design optimized for treating wastewater heavily loaded with solids. The PWL DAF provides the large amount of free surface area required for flotation and separation in these applications. DAF systems can be used to effectively remove Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen demand (COD), and other pollutants from wastewater. Open style units are particularly proficient for high solids concentration and can be built wider and longer as the free separation area requirement increases. Material of Construction When you invest in a DAF system, you want something that is going to hold up in a harsh environment. FRC constructs our DAF using high-end stainless steel. Stainless steel resists rust and retains its strength between temperatures of -320°F to 1,500°F ( -196° to 816° C), so it holds up in both indoor and outdoor applications. Even after decades of use, stainless steel tanks can be retrofitted and continue to work for decades longer because the steel structure remains sound. Support Structures Just like our DAF, all FRC skids and catwalks are constructed out of high-end stainless steel so they will be equally durable and long-lasting. Our access catwalks are OSHA compliant and completely customizable and can be designed with stairs or ladders in a variety of different shapes to accommodate your design and facility requirements. Depending on the application, we can accommodate various alloys including Stainless Steel 316ti and Duplex Stainless Steel. Aeration System FRC takes an engineered approach with our aeration system. Our centrifugal recirculation pumps are used for just that – recirculating water. They’re readily available from any pump vendor, have a high tolerance for solids, can be made of extremely hard materials, and are less expensive to own and operate than specialty whitewater pumps. By placing the responsibility for generating whitewater on a static tube made of stainless steel, the centrifugal pump can focus on what it does best – move water. The whitewater is generated in a static “air dissolving tube” downstream from the pump as water comes in contact with small volumes of compressed air. This design aspect allows for almost instant saturation by creating higher interface between the clarified effluent and the compressed air. Dewatering Grid The sludge dewatering grid helps operators control sludge thickness, eliminates pre-mature removal of solids, reduces build-up and/or re-entrainment of sludge, and ultimately generates drier sludge. Drier sludge means less required storage capacity, less dewatering equipment, and less chemical expenses on re-processing filtrate water (the water that separates out of sludge after dewatering) through the DAF system. You have everything to gain by going with a DAF system that’s engineered to produce drier sludge. Open Flotation Cell & Counter-Current Skimmer In PWL DAF systems, wastewater is introduced into the DAF tank and processed in a flow-through manner – wastewater comes in one side and goes out the other. While many DAF system designs push sludge across the entire length of the tank in the same direction as the wastewater flow, FRC’s PWL design uses a skimmer assembly that rotates against the hydraulic flow of the water. This design shortens sludge skimming distance and eliminates solids carry-over. Gas-Tight Cover FRC can provide a custom engineered stainless-steel, gas-tight cover for your open-style DAF if your application requires complete segregation of the influent and atmosphere. The gas-tight covers are designed with flange connections for sweeping gas such as nitrogen and dissolving gases. Plexi-glass access hatches, flame arrestors and vacuum relief valves are also available as options.
