The present investigation evaluates a dissolved air flotation system (DAF) for the specific removal of oils and greases and the effect that the use of aluminum sulfate as a coagulant has on the removal efficiency. The tests were conducted in two stages, with a pre-calibrated dissolved air flotation cell prototype. In the first stage of the investigation (without the use of a coagulant), removal efficiencies of up to 90% were achieved, depending on the concentration of tributary oils and fats and the A/G ratio used. However, there is an optimal A/Go value, from which, the increase in removal efficiency requires an exaggerated increase in the A/G ratio, and, consequently, higher costs of real-scale implementation of the proposed system. It was also observed that the A/Go ratio obtained decreases and tends to the value of 0.041, when the concentration of tributary oils and fats exceeds and moves away from 500 mg/L, on the other hand, it increases abruptly, as This concentration is lower and away from 500 mg/L. Likewise, the optimal efficiency of oil and fat removal (% Ro) increases directly to the concentration of oils and fats, always staying above 70% for wastewater with more than 500 mg/L and decreasing dramatically, below 70%, for concentrations less than 500 mg/L. The use of aluminum sulfate as a coagulant, at adequate doses, increased the efficiency of removing oils and fats, even, at optimal doses, removal efficiencies close to 90% were achieved. On the other hand, the optimal working pressure is 50 psi, provided that aluminum sulfate is used as a coagulant, contrary to what happens when a coagulant is not used, where the optimal working pressure varies between 40 and 65 psi. Optima! operation of the proposed dissolved air flotation cell prototype requires working pressures between 40 and 70 psi and working volumes between 1.75 and 1.80 liters. For working pressures less than 40 psi, the complete discharge of the water-air mixture is not possible, while for working pressures greater than 70 psi the water-air mixture is stabilized and generates an overflow.
