Dissolved Air Flotation Rental

Dissolved air flotation rental is the temporary use of a DAF system to treat wastewater without investing in a permanent installation immediately. It is ideal when an existing plant is overloaded, under maintenance, not yet commissioned, or when wastewater treatment performance needs to be tested before purchase.

Dissolved Air Flotation Rental for Wastewater Treatment

ClearFox® manufactures and stocks dissolved air flotation rental systems for fast, reliable wastewater treatment. Our modular DAF rental units from 1 to 100 m³/h help remove suspended solids, oils, grease, fats, COD, heavy metals and other floatable pollutants from process water and wastewater.

Whether you need a short-term DAF rental, a DAF unit hire package during maintenance, or a longer-term DAF leasing solution for a plant upgrade, we supply flexible systems that can be integrated into existing treatment lines or installed as standalone temporary wastewater treatment units.

Flexible DAF Rental for Short-Term and Long-Term Projects

Industrial wastewater treatment demands can change quickly. Production increases, seasonal loads, shutdowns, tighter discharge limits and equipment failures can all create an urgent need for temporary additional treatment capacity. A mobile dissolved air flotation rental system gives you a fast and practical way to maintain operations and support compliance.

ClearFox® supplies mobile and modular DAF systems for a wide range of industries and wastewater types. Our rental solutions can be configured as compact standalone units or as part of a complete rental wastewater treatment plant with dosing, pH adjustment, sludge handling and downstream treatment stages.

When a DAF rental system is the right choice

SituationWhy DAF rental helps
Plant maintenance or refurbishmentKeeps treatment running while permanent equipment is offline
Emergency breakdown or unexpected failureRestores wastewater treatment capacity quickly
Seasonal production peaksAdds temporary treatment capacity without long-term capital cost
Pilot trials and treatability testingTests real wastewater before a permanent investment
Plant expansion or commissioningBridges the gap until a new system is fully operational
Temporary compliance issueSupports discharge performance while long-term improvements are implemented

Available DAF Rental Models

ClearFox® offers DAF rental units in the following nominal flow ranges:

Nominal capacityTypical use
1 m³/hPilot trials, side streams, very small wastewater flows
2 m³/hSmall process water applications
3 m³/hCompact industrial wastewater treatment projects
5 m³/hSmall-to-medium production sites
7.5 m³/hVariable industrial process water streams
10 m³/hStandard industrial pretreatment duties
20 m³/hMedium-to-large temporary treatment capacity
50 m³/hLarge industrial wastewater flows
100 m³/hHigh-capacity temporary treatment projects

Multiple units can be installed in parallel for larger flows.

The correct system size depends on average and peak flow, pollutant load, chemical conditioning requirements, operating hours and target discharge values. Project-specific configurations are available where needed.

What a DAF Rental System Can Remove

A dissolved air flotation system is designed to separate light and floatable contaminants from wastewater. After chemical conditioning and pH adjustment, fine air bubbles attach to flocs and lift them to the surface, where they are removed as flotation sludge.

A DAF rental unit can be used to reduce:

  • suspended solids and fine particles
  • fats, oils and grease
  • free and dispersed oils
  • fibres and light solids
  • emulsified contaminants after chemical treatment
  • a significant share of COD linked to floatable or flocculable material

This makes DAF rental a strong option for industrial wastewater streams that need reliable physical-chemical pretreatment before discharge, sewer discharge or further biological treatment.

Optional Modules for a Complete Rental Wastewater Treatment Solution

Many projects need more than a flotation unit alone. ClearFox® can configure a rental wastewater treatment system around the DAF stage to suit the wastewater and the site.

Available modules can include:

  • equalization or buffer tanks
  • pH correction and neutralization
  • coagulant and flocculant dosing
  • sludge dewatering
  • screening or pre-treatment
  • downstream biological treatment or polishing stages

This modular approach allows the DAF rental system to match the process instead of forcing the process to fit a fixed standard unit.

Industries and Applications

DAF rental is suitable for many industrial sectors where wastewater contains suspended solids, oil, grease or other floatable matter.

FAQs

What is the ClearFox® Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Rental system?
A dissolved air flotation rental system is a temporary wastewater treatment solution used to remove suspended solids, oils, grease, fats and other floatable pollutants from industrial wastewater using fine air bubbles and chemical conditioning.
DAF rental systems can reduce suspended solids, fats, oils, grease (FOG), fibres, emulsified contaminants, fine particles and a significant share of COD associated with floatable or flocculable material.
ClearFox® offers dissolved air flotation rental units from 1 m³/h up to 100 m³/h. Multiple units can also be installed in parallel for higher treatment capacities.
DAF rental is ideal for short-term projects, plant maintenance, emergency breakdowns, seasonal production peaks, pilot trials, commissioning phases or temporary compliance requirements where permanent investment is not yet needed.
Mobile and modular DAF rental systems are designed for fast delivery and installation, helping restore or increase wastewater treatment capacity quickly.
Yes. DAF rental systems can be connected to existing wastewater treatment infrastructure or installed as standalone temporary treatment units.
Industries including food and beverage, dairy, meat and fish processing, recycling, plastics washing, chemical manufacturing, metalworking, textiles and municipal utilities commonly use DAF rental systems.
Yes. Dissolved air flotation is highly effective for removing free oils, dispersed oils, grease and oily solids from industrial wastewater.
