Access to clean water and water treatment has become an increasingly demanded global priority worldwide. Not only is there a need for drinking water, but also for the supply and treatment of water for municipal and industrial processes.
Wastewater treatment has gained increasing importance among municipalities and industrial facilities as water quality standards rise. Therefore, many municipalities and industrial facilities have established their own wastewater treatment plants. For wastewater treatment, radial pumps and dosing pumps are generally preferred. However, other pump technologies can also be used in specific situations.
As part of water treatment processes, dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a method commonly used in the treatment of urban and industrial wastewater. The DAF process involves initially holding the water under pressure and saturating it with gas or air. Then, by reducing the water's pressure, the gas or air bubbles are released. These microbubbles attach to solids in the water, causing them to rise to the surface where they can be mechanically removed, forming a layer.
Water treatment and wastewater management are critical for a sustainable environmental policy. Protecting clean water sources and effectively treating wastewater are essential for a healthy environment and society. Therefore, selecting the right pumps and effectively managing water treatment processes are necessary to meet these important needs.
