Abstract
Dissolved air flotation (DAF) has been widely used for the pre-treatment or the primary treatment of seafood processing wastes. Screening for removal of large particles (bones, shells, etc.) prior to DAF is recommended. Suspended solids are readily removed in a DAF unit that requires less space than an equivalent standard sedimentation basin. A DAF system can be started and shut down easily to accommodate fluctuations in seafood processing. Additional treatment facilities, such as, filtration, ion exchange, granular activated carbon adsorption, electrocoagulation, biological treatment processes, etc. may have to be provided to meet certain discharge standards.
