Abstract

The paper describes the method that led to the design of the 1,500 Ml/day dissolved air flotation (DAF) water treatment plant for Boston's water supply. In particular, the topics of flocculation techniques, floated solids removal and DAF recycle as they relate to very large capacity plant design are covered in detail. The use of mathematical models, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, to refine the design is described.
