Known
Q= 1800  m³d Amount of wastewater to be treated
SS= 700  mg/L Suspended solids concentration
Aa/S= 0.02  Gas-solid ratio
P= 4.2  atm Dissolved air pressure
Ca= 18.5  mg/L Saturated solubility of air in water
T₁= min Dissolved air tank residence time
T₂= min Contact time inair flotationtank
Ts= 30  min Residence time inseparation chamber
Vs= 0.09  m/min Rising fow rate in fotation tank
1. Determination of The Amount of Dissolved Gas Water QR
QR= Aa/S*Sa*Q/Ca(f*P-1)= 896.1593172  m³/d
Dissolved gas effciency f= 0.6 
Take the returm flow volume Qr= 900  m³/d
2.Air Flotation Tank Design
①Contact zone volume Vc
Vc= (Q+Qr)*T₂/(24*60)= 9.375 
②Volume of separation area Vs
Vs= (Q+Qr)*T. (24*60)= 56.25 
③Air flotation tank effective water depth H
H= VsTs= 2.7  m
④Area of separation zone As and length L2
As= Vs/H= 20.83333333 
Take the pool width B= m
Then the length of the separation zone L2= As/B= 5.208333333 
⑤Contact area Ac and length L1
Ac= Vc/H= 3.472222222 
L₁= Ac/B= 0.868055556  m
⑥Flotation cell inlet pipe:Dg=200,v=0.9947m/s
⑦Flotation Cell Outlet Pipe:Dg=150
⑧Collector pipe small hole area S
Take the small hole fow rate v₁= m/s
S= (Q+Qr)/24/3600v₁= 0.03125
Take the diameter ofthe small hole D₁= 0.015  m
Thenthe number of holes n= 4*S13.14*D₁²= 176.9285209  individual
The number of holes is taken as aninteger,the mouth of the holes is downward, at anangle of45°to the level,and is staggered intwo rows.
⑨Float tank width L3:
Take L3= 0.8  m
The depth h' of the scum tank is set at 1m. The bottom slope i = 0.5, directed toward the sludge discharge pipe. The sludge discharge pipe has a diameter Dg = 200.
3. Dissolved Air Tank Design
① Dissolved air tank volume V₁
V₁= Q*T₁/(24*60)= 1.875 
The dissolved air tank has a diameter D = 1.1 m. The dissolved air section height is 2 m (measured from the centerline of the inlet pipe). An elliptical head is used, with a curved surface height of 275 mm and a straight edge height of 25 mm. The tank has a pressure rating of 10 × 10 Pa. A vent pipe D = 15 m is installed at the top to discharge residual gas, along with a safety valve and pressure gauge.
② Inlet and outlet pipe diameter: Both inlet and outlet pipes use a 100mm diameter, with an internal flow velocity of 1.24 m/s.
