The plant. There are two water regulators (Sungurlu and İsabey ) on the rivulet and the water is pumped to the purification plant at Emirli via 2,650 metres (8,690 ft) mains pipe. [2] The diameter of the prestressed steel mains pipe is 3,000 millimetres (120 in). In the first stage of the project 145 000 000 m 3 water has been given to service ...

Dissolved air flotation. Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a water treatment process that clarifies wastewaters (or other waters) by the removal of suspended matter such as oil or solids. The removal is achieved by dissolving air in the water or wastewater under pressure and then releasing the air at atmospheric pressure in a flotation tank basin.
