High efficiency. Effect of the combined system of uniform hydrodynamics and microbubble bed filtration.
Dissolved Air Flotation Units
for water clarification
Dissolved air flotation units are devices used in water treatment processes to separate suspended solids and other particles by forming bubbles that attack solid particles to make them less dense and rise to the surface as sludge or foam. They are used in primary civil wastewater treatments and in industries such as paper, food and oil & gas. MITA Water Technologies offers Mitadaf, a highly efficient system that combines uniform hydrodynamics and microbubble filtration.
Simplicity and reliability. These are devices that are easy and manageable and require less maintenance than other treatment technologies.
Reduced load on other processes. Flotation units lighten the pollutant load on upstream solutions for more efficient operation of the entire treatment plant.
Adaptability. These solutions find use in both civil and a wide variety of industrial processes. This is due to the circularity of the tank and the reduced working volume.
Reduced chemical consumption. Flotation units often reduce the need for additional wastewater treatment products.
Reduced footprint. An advantage for facilities with limited space, especially in industrial settings.
Dissolved Air Flotaion units: description and operation.
These are devices used in wastewater treatment processes to remove suspended solids and other particles in water, such as oils, grease, and sediment: the operating principle of dissolved air flotation units involves dissolving air in water at atmospheric pressure and then releasing it at a low-pressure point within the device. When the air is released, small bubbles form in the water, which attach to solid particles: this causes suspended solids and other particles to become less dense than the surrounding water and, as a result, rise to the surface. This forms a layer of sludge or foam that can be easily removed.
In civil sewage treatment plants, dissolved air flotaion units often intervene at the primary treatment level, upstream of subsequent technologies. On the other hand, there is certainly no shortage of case studies for industrial wastewater: paper mills, food companies, and the oil & gas sector are just a few examples.
As a dissolved air flotation solution, MITA Water Technologies has designed Mitadaf: a very high-efficiency system resulting from the combined system of uniform hydrodynamics and microbubble bed filtration.

Mitadaf MD Dissolved Air Flotation Units
Mitadaf is the dissolved air flotation (DAF) system developed by MITA Water Technologies. Its outstanding efficiency in separating solids from liquid and thickening sludge comes from a unique approach that combines the use of microbubbles of air, produced by our Mitasat MS, with a uniform effluent hydrodynamic system.
Mitasat MS Microbubble Reactor for Flotation Units
The Mitasat reactor is a key component of the dissolved air flotation process, with high efficiency in the generation of microbubbles of air and no need for excess air release valves. Made of AISI 316 stainless steel and certified according to pressure vessel regulations, it is used in civil and industrial biological plants for sludge clarification and thickening. It is also ideal for oxygenation in activated sludge biological plants and performance improvement in existing flotation plants.
