Abstract
DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation) is an effective alternative process to conventional sedimentation in water containing low-density particles. The water is saturated with compressed air to dissolve the air into the water at high pressure in a saturation tank. Then the water containing dissolved air is released into a floatation tank at a lower pressure, generating micro-bubbles that rise gently through the water and carry the suspended matter to the surface. Removal effeciencies of turbidity, chlorophyll-a, DOC and $UV_{254}$ Abs. by DAF and conventional sedimentation for raw water from Dae-chung Lake were compared. DOC removal efficiency after adding PAC (Powdered Activated Carbon) was also investigated. At low turbidity, the removal efficiency of turbidity, chlorophyll-a, DOC and $UV_{254}$ Abs was 92.4%, 94.4%, 20.2% and 24.9% respectively. It is concluded that the DAF process is feasible for efficient removal of turbidity and algae in Daejeon water treatment plants.
