DAF Pumps | Air-Whip Pump Out of the Ordinary
Posted on February 13th, 2011 No commentsDAF Pumps
Dissolved air flotation, the process of injecting microscopic bubbles into an influent to create a flocculant, which is skimmed away. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? It is a simple enough concept. You create small enough parts so that things can be handled on a electro-chemical level. Charges attract suspended particles whose charges are keeping them apart. Microscopic air bubbles, correctly produced, along with the right chemical agents collect all the garbage in wastewater and float it to the top- each particle surrounded by microscopic bubbles that carry each particle away. Mind you, this isn’t the large bubbles produced by some equipment that produces something like chocolate mousse. This is ultra fine microscopic bubbles that do more than just produce a coagulant. Your end result is flocculant, a more solid and “load bearing” composition of very small bubbles. Your end product is much higher in waste content, leaving nearly pure clear water.
The savings can be enormous.
Treated water is much cheaper to send to a municipality than buying pollution credits.
Are you using Hellbender DAF pumps or Edur DAF pumps or another brand that costs thousands of dollars, but wears out in short order under industrial loads? Who wants to spend $25,000 every six months on replacement DAF pumps?

Enter the Air-whip DAF pump. It’s simple- our pumps last years. Some of our first pumps, installed several years ago are still operating at full capacity today,
Our technology produces the needed micron size bubbles with a specially engineered design that uses a modified standard style pump with much higher durability. One of our pumps actually had a work shirt introduced in the influent and is still running strong after the “experience”.

Ready For Hurricane Season? Call Dan Keys
Posted on July 4th, 2010 No commentsReady for hurricane season? Of course, we’re not but it’s coming with its wind and waves. What will this do to the oil floating on top of the gulf? It will emulsify much of it, mixing it and dispersing it into such small particles that its electrochemical forces of like charges will suspend each particle in a force field of its own charge, repelling nearby particles with like charges away. The oil, though not chemically bonded to the water stays mixed, creating a sludge of tiny particles that can only be dealt with on a microscopic level. Some of this microscopic environment includes microbes that will readily eat the oil but then there are the little problems of waste and depleted oxygen. Now you have suspended oils, suspended proteins and depleted oxygen. A perfect environment for… nothing. No fish, no wildlife, just a growing dead zone in the gulf. If the problem spreads to wetlands, then you’ll have dead zones forming there as well.
Dissolved air flotation can be applied to these areas and the oil and microbe waste can be collected around the air bubbles and skimmed off. Now what’s needed are long lasting, high rate, high volume capable pumps that can handle the millions of gallons long term.
Enter the Air whip pump by Keystec.DAF pumps that defy common design and outlast most DAF pumps on an exponential scale.
