Abstract

A method of purifying a liquid by dissolved air flotation (DAF) in which a liquid, saturated with dissolved air under pressure is released directly into the liquid to be treated vis at least one injection nozzle 4, in which the degree of opening of the nozzle 4 may be remotely varied, thereby providing the facility to remotely adjust the pressure of the air solutionised liquid. Also disclosed is means to combine flotation and filtration wherein the impurities in the water rise to the surface of the liquid due to the flotation process, and the liquid flows over the top 35 of a division wall into a body of liquid 33 above the top 9 of a filter bed. The liquid may then pass through the filter bed 2 into a filter distribution and collecting system 3. A coagulant may be used. A method of removing the accumulated float from dissolved air purification systems by using wipers is also claimed.
