Milieu-Nomics’ Dissolved Air Flotation System
Pilot Study Program

The ReduxTM DAF system removes solids and other separable impurities from water by suspension or absorption of the contaminant particles on the surface of tiny air bubbles and floating them to the surface where they are collected and removed from the process stream. Through application of the MNI pilot study program, MNI and the selected customer can determine the most cost effective and efficient means for designing a full scale system and the appropriate chemical additions and dosages.

MNI’s pilot testing service affords a potential purchaser of a MNI / ReduxTM DAF system the expertise, tools and methods to address many waste water discharge problems.

  • MNI pilot units are scaled down versions of fully operational systems designed to utilize a proportional flow stream.
  • Pilot studies require ½ day setup/breakdown and 2-4 full working days for actual testing
  • Upon completion of the pilot study MNI will provide a complete report which will serve as the basis of design for the full-scale system.
  • The pilot report analyzes treatment results and will address the chemical treatment requirements as described by the chemical supplier.

The MNI pilot study program is an inexpensive means of developing the most cost effective and efficient DAF treatment system with regard to both capital cost and operation/maintenance costs for a given application.

Chemistry Requirements

  • The chemical process requirements are to be supplied by either the purchaser’s existing chemical supplier or MNI may be able to provide chemical supplier contacts.
  • MNI also has full laboratory development capabilities to develop an effective chemical process.
  • The chemical supplier will most likely require ssamples of the waste water prior to initiation of the pilot testing to establish chemical types and general dosages that will be required by means laboratory "jar" testing.
Physical Plant Requirement

  • A level 6’W x 15’L site under a roof or cover.
  • Instrument quality compressed air supply (5 SCFM max. @ 100PSI) or a 1 ½ HP portable compressor.
  • 115 /1 PH/60 HZ, 20 ampere service within 15’ of the pilot unit.
  • A minimum of 300 gallons of process water per day delivered to within 50’ of the pilot unit location.
