Rogers, D

The successful implementation of an innovative treatment facility at a Washington state pulp and paper mill has proven the capabilities of the deep tank aeration/dissolved air flotation (DTA/DAF) process in a difficult industrial application. Indicates that DTA/DAF is an energy-saving, cost-effective alternative to conventional or other high rate air activated sludge systems. Points out that the process provides industry with a proven biological treatment method for applications where limited land area would preclude installation of any other type of system. For industries located in northern climates where conventional treatment systems would suffer from cold weather applications, the DTA/DAF process would be less susceptible due to the inherent nature of the compact design and lower tendency for heat loss.
