Pressure Monitoring for DAF Optimization
Air Saturation Tank (Pressurized Side) - Ensuring Proper Air Dissolution
Maintains the correct pressure conditions for optimal air saturation.
✅ Prevents Insufficient Air Dissolution – Ensures pressure remains within the 80–100 psi range for effective air saturation.
✅ Detects Leaks & Pressure Drops – Identifies issues like valve malfunctions or pump failures, preventing loss of dissolved air.
✅ Optimizes Bubble Formation – Helps maintain consistent microbubble production, improving flotation efficiency.
Air Injection Line (Before and After Nozzles) - Monitoring Bubble Formation
Ensures stable air release for effective flotation.
✅ Prevents Air Blockages – Detects clogged or malfunctioning nozzles affecting bubble formation.
✅ Optimizes Air-to-Solids Ratio (A/S Ratio) – Helps maintain proper air saturation pressure for maximum TSS removal.
✅ Reduces Energy Consumption – Ensures the correct air injection pressure is maintained, preventing unnecessary air losses.
Recycle Pump Suction and Discharge - Optimizing Energy Use
Ensures pump efficiency and prevents mechanical failures.
✅ Detects Cavitation & Dry Running – Low suction pressure warns of air entrainment, leaks, or pump starvation.
✅ Prevents Excessive Wear & Overloading – High discharge pressure may indicate blockages or overpressure, affecting pump longevity.
✅ Reduces Energy Costs – Optimizing pump operation based on real-time pressure readings lowers power consumption.
Sludge Removal Line - Detecting Clogging and Sludge Buildup
Ensures consistent sludge discharge and prevents system failures.
✅ Identifies Line Blockages – High pressure indicates sludge buildup or improper sludge thickening.
✅ Prevents Under-Removal of Sludge – Low pressure suggests insufficient sludge removal, which can reduce DAF efficiency.
✅ Automates Sludge Pump Operation – Allows for real-time sludge pump adjustments to optimize removal rates.
Effluent Discharge - Ensuring Smooth System Operation
Prevents hydraulic issues and ensures proper discharge flow.
✅ Prevents Backpressure Issues – High pressure at the effluent line may indicate blockages, improper valve settings, or restricted flow.
✅ Detects Flow Imbalances – Sudden pressure changes signal process inefficiencies or excessive sludge carryover.
✅ Optimizes Discharge Pumping – Ensures the correct flow rate and pressure balance to maintain regulatory compliance.
