AquaDAF Water Clarifier

Advantages

Flexible & Robust :

treats water with temperature >3C
best solution for low turbidity / high algae
raw water
adapts to occasional peaks of TSS or
Turbidity upto 200 NTU.

Cost effective :
Reduction in the time required for the
response to 5 min
Decrease the size of footprint while
retaining its performance.

Easy to operate :
Easy to operate and maintain (very few
mechanicals, no lamella modules, no
clogging)
No need to add material to weigh down the
flocs.
Instantaneous Start and Stop.
