What is a DAF system and how does it work?
A Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) system removes suspended solids and oils by using fine air bubbles to lift contaminants to the surface for removal. Baldwin DAF systems improve water clarity and reduce downstream maintenance across industrial and commercial applications.
When should I use a coalescing plate separator?
Coalescing plate separators are ideal for removing free oils and hydrocarbons from wastewater. They are commonly used in service stations, mechanical workshops, and industrial sites. Baldwin’s plate packs are modular, easy to clean, and designed for continuous operation.
What does the RM-10/OSU system do?
The RM-10/OSU provides one-step chemical treatment for difficult wastewater. It removes emulsified oils, heavy metals, and suspended solids using a bentonite clay–based chemical process. It’s proven across workshop wash bay, paint, and compressor station wash applications.
What is the purpose of pH control and chemical dosing in wastewater treatment?
pH control systems balance acidity and alkalinity to ensure wastewater meets discharge requirements. Baldwin dosing systems automatically inject precise quantities of neutralising agents, such as acids, alkalis, or flocculants, based on site-specific flow conditions.
How do oil skimmers and decanters differ?
Oil skimmers remove floating oils and contaminants from water surfaces, while decanters separate solids and liquids for further treatment. Baldwin’s Skim-Pak range offers both fixed and floating configurations for ponds, refineries, and food processing facilities.
What are the benefits of using filtration and polishing media?
Filtration and polishing media remove fine solids, hydrocarbons, and trace contaminants following primary treatment. Baldwin units combine coarse and fine filtration for optimal results, reducing downstream blockages and ensuring compliance with trade waste limits.
What types of pumps are used in wastewater treatment systems?
Baldwin supplies air diaphragm, progressive cavity, and centrifugal pumps designed for continuous-duty wastewater applications. Each type supports different flow rates and fluid viscosities, ensuring consistent performance across chemical, oily, and particulate waste streams.
