Fruit Processing Industry
Tomato Cannery A tomato cannery needed additional treatment to remove suspended solids from their process wastewater. At Heron Innovators, we specialize in the design, development, fabrication, and installation of highly efficient SAF® systems. A pilot trailer was placed at the plant and ran for two months during the 2012 processing season, proving the system’s capabilities and setting the stage for the customer’s order for a complete system to be installed. The F100 SAF® Generator and CF1000 Clear-floater system has the capacity to treat the entire wastewater flow of up to 2,000 gpm, and...
Food Processing Industry
Case Study Of SAF® System For The Food Processing Industry Heron Innovators provided a fully integrated Suspended Air Flotation (SAF®) system installation for a meat processing facility. For this project, the customer required a system to remove suspended solids, fats, oil and greases from wastewater. Our trailer-mounted F50 SAF® Generator and a CF125 Clear-Floater treatment system delivered a comprehensive solution. The trailer-mounted system was constructed from AISI type 304 stainless steel, PVC, and polyurethane, and measured 40 ft. long x 8 ft. wide x 12 ft. high. The system is...
Truck Washing Application
Specializing in the manufacturing of the next generation of solid/liquid separation systems, Heron Innovators developed this Suspended Air® Flotation (SAF®) system for a customer in the truck washing industry. The skid mounted treatment system addressed the customer's need for treatment of water reuse by removing suspended solids, oils, and grease. The solution Heron Innovators provided to the customer reduced surcharges prior to discharge to the municipal wastewater collection system. At Heron Innovators, our design and build capabilities include creation of AutoCAD drawings and complete...

Cheese Processing Industry
Installation Of A SAF® System For A Cheese Processor Specializing in state-of-the-art wastewater treatment systems, at Heron Innovators, we provided a California-based customer with our advanced Suspended Air® Flotation (SAF®) system technology for their new cheese processing plant. Customized SAF® systems remove suspended solids from wastewater with a high capture percentage and high hydraulic and solids loading rates. The SAF® system installation was custom fabricated from type 304 stainless steel, and featured a Model F25 froth generator, Model CF125 ClearFloater™ flotation tank, a...
Flotation Without Dissolved Air: Charged microbubbles for enhanced removal of suspended solids in wastewater applications.
Want FREE registration to IPPE2020 in Atlanta? Fill out the form below to go.For over a century, various forms of Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) systems have been employed for the removal of suspended solids, and fats, oils, and grease from wastewater. The amount of air that can be dissolved in DAF systems is limited by the laws of physics and is usually less than 2 – 4% air by volume. The recirculated “whitewater” is drawn and created from underflow of flotation units, requiring high horsepower compressors and pumps...
Wastewater Treatment Ponds
SAF® System For Title 22 Wastewater Reclamation / Tertiary Filtration Heron Innovators manufactures Suspended Air® Flotation (SAF®) systems for removal of suspended solids from wastewater. SAF® solutions are backed up by years of process knowledge and manufacturing ability. This particular project required the removal of specific components - algae and colloidal material - from the pond effluent. The goal was to extend filter cycle times, and achieve <9NTU water clarity prior to filtration for unrestricted reuse of wastewater. The Model SAF250 system supplied by Heron Innovators was...
Municipal Landfill Leachate
SAF® System For Treatment Of Landfill Leachate (Click image to enlarge) A customer in the municipal solid waste industry needed a solid/liquid separation process as a component of a system solution for disposal of leachate water. At Heron Innovators, we specialize in Suspended Air® Flotation systems for wastewater applications, and were contracted to manufacture and install a skid-mounted system to remove flocculated solids prior to disposal in a drainfield. The process incorporated lime softening to remove calcium, a major contributor to TDS, from the leachate wastestream, reducing TDS...
Pilot Test for Digested Sludge Thickening
Pilot Test For Digested Sludge Thickening A municipal wastewater industry customer approached Heron Innovators with a need to run a treatment system pilot test. We placed our Model SAF125 Suspended Air® Flotation (SAF®) pilot trailer at the customer’s Sacramento, California biosolids recycling facility for three pilot runs. The pilot test runs provided data enhancing the performance of their digested sludge centrifuge operation. The pilot trailer thickens digested sludge from the treatment plant prior to the centrifuges. This advanced system is constructed from stainless steel...
Pilot Testing Capabilities
SAF® System Pilot Testing For Wastewater Applications Heron Innovators, Inc. specializes in flotation treatment technology. Pilot testing is available for industries and municipalities. Suspended Air® Flotation (SAF®) wastewater treatment systems perform water clarification with grit removal and solids thickening. This advanced system does not use dissolved air and is more efficient than dissolved air flotation methods. The Pilot Trailer is a mounted model SAF®125 treatment system, fabricated from AISI type 304 stainless steel, PVC, and polyurethane. The pilot trailer measures 40 feet...
