ESMIL Group completed the first stage of commissioning the advanced DAF FT-25D flotation system at an industrial wastewater treatment plant in a beverage production facility in Florida, USA.
What is this project about?
The project’s goal is the efficient separation of sludge after the MBBR reactor in wastewater generated during the beverage production process. The ESMIL DAF FT-25D system is designed for high performance and flexibility – it handles flow rates up to 70 m³/h and integrates seamlessly with the existing treatment plant infrastructure.
What technologies were used?
The system is equipped with a number of modern engineering solutions:
- EDUR flotation pumps – Two independent units ensure stability in the air saturation system.
- Recirculation and air supply regulation – Enables operation in different technological modes.
- ESMIL lamella module – Increases the efficiency of suspended particle separation.
- Advanced pressure control system – Full control over the flotation process.
- White water distribution – Multi-point introduction of saturated flotation water.
- Real-time monitoring – Sensors for sludge and suspended solids levels in the treated water.
- Automatic flotation sludge removal system – Integrated with the overall process.
- Flow guides – Optimizes hydrodynamics in the flotation tank.
Why is this important?
The implementation of the DAF FT-25D system signifies a significant improvement in industrial wastewater treatment efficiency, which is crucial in the beverage production sector where contaminant loads are variable and often high. The solutions used by ESMIL align with the trend of automation and digitization of wastewater treatment plants, enabling full monitoring and remote process management.
What’s next?
The next stage will involve the technological start-up with full load, parameter calibration, and system integration with the rest of the installation. Ultimately, the plant will achieve full operational readiness to work in the new, optimized mode.
