DAF Problem? Easy Solution
Posted on November 21st, 2010 1 commentA DAF problem that drives an operator to start seeking a solution can usually be sourced to one of two causes: chemical or mechanical.
Chemical if a problem arises with proper flocculation or coagulation then an adjustment in chemical dosing is determined which resolves the core problem. In some dynamic environments, chemical dosing requires constant monitoring and adjustment.
Mechanical There are relatively few mechanical components in a typical DAF. The introduction of air in proper quantities creates many of the challenges found in dissolved air flotation applications including:
- Short pump life
- High Cost
- Complexity
- Intolerance of Entrained Solids
- Difficult or Impossible Maintenance
The science and innovation behind the Air-Whip pump addresses all of these issues and does so with lower initial cost. The price of the Air-Whip DAF pump is fractional compared to typical DAF pumps on the open market.
The Air-Whip pump is engineered to tolerate both air and entrained solids. One of the pumps actually “ingested” a shirt that was accidentally introduced into the influent and continues to operate today. The Air-Whip pump has a very long life expectancy measured in years rather than weeks and months- typical lifespans of traditional pumps. The reliability and performance of the Air-Whip DAF pump provides both flexibility in operation modes and greatly reduced maintenance costs.
Some of our pumps have been in operation since they were first installed five years ago.

Can Your DAF Pump Aerate A Shirt? This One Can… | Dissolved Air Flotation At Low Cost
Posted on January 18th, 2010 No commentsOn one of the early Keystec DAF Pump tests, a client was simply too cheap to install screens in his wastewater system.
During a pilot test one of the workers accidentally dropped his shirt into the whitewater. Later the shirt was retrieved from the processed water- the Keystec Airwhip® pump unharmed.
Multi-stage pumps used to make whitewater cost exponentially more. The in-use pumps at this pilot test were getting clogged within weeks. The company was producing microwave bacon. The plant had five DAFs. The Keystec trial pump that started out as a test, and then placed into service five years ago is still running strong today.
Can Your DAF pump perform like this? Are you saving hundreds of thousands on your DAF processes?
We’re talking price ranges from $2,500 to $10,000 depending on size and application. Pumps that last far beyond competitors at economic cost.
