INNOVATIVE WATER & WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Heron Innovators, Inc. manufactures Suspended Air® Flotation (SAF®) water treatment systems. SAF® is flotation without dissolved air®. Performance is not limited by changing conditions (e.g. gas solubility, pressure, temperature, etc.) and the physics that constrain traditional process systems, such as dissolved air flotation (DAF), induced air flotation (IAF), Induced Gas Flotation (IGF), enhanced clarification, cavitation air flotation (CAF), and other micro-bubble generators. As Heron customers say, “It just always works.”

Common Uses For SAF®:

  • Algae and Silt Removal
  • Biosolids Removal & Thickening
  • Enhanced Clarification
  • Filtrate Clarification
  • Oil/Water Separation
  • Primary/Secondary Treatment
  • Surface Water Treatment
  • Wastewater Reclamation

Surface water and algae-laden intakes continue to validate the efficiency of SAF®.

With optimized bubble dynamics and fast rise rates, SAF® provides:
💧 Exceptional clarity — effluent turbidities routinely under 2 NTU
💧 Dense, uniform solids blankets ideal for downstream handling
💧 Reduced filter loading, extending run times and cutting backwash frequency
💧 Operational resilience during peak algae blooms

From municipal surface-water treatment to industrial process water, operators are choosing SAF® for performance that stays consistent.
