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

When comparing wastewater treatment solutions, Suspended Air® Flotation (SAF®) delivers clear advantages over traditional equipment:

🔵 Centrifuges: SAF® achieves higher solids capture with far lower energy consumption. Also, eliminates the need to return the centrate to the headworks for treatment.
🔵 Gravity Belt Thickeners: SAF® thickens faster and avoids issues with belt fouling and chemical dependence. Eliminates the need to return the filtrate to the headworks for treatment.
🔵 Clarifiers: SAF® produces clearer effluent in a much smaller footprint, with faster separation and less reliance on settling time. Eliminates “floaties.”
🔵 DAFTs: SAF® uses resilient microbubbles (Aphrons) for superior particle attachment, allowing better performance without the need for high-pressure systems or extensive chemical dosing.

Efficient. Compact. Proven in the field.
SAF® sets a new standard in water and wastewater treatment.
