the late 1970s saw the introduction of large dissolved air flotation (DAF) units fitted with chemical precipitation into Europe, new zealand and the US for protein recovery from wastewater. these processes gave 75-80% BODs reduction (hopwood,1977) and had the additional advantage of removing large quantities of nitrogen and phosphorus. most systems, however, had considerable operating problem, including long retention times and low surface-overflow rate, which led to solids settling, large volumes of putre factive and bulky sludge ( typically 0.8-1.2 kg dry sludge/kg BOD removed), sensitivity of the system to flow variation and difficulties in sludge dewatering (Stebor et al., 1990). furthermore, the protein product could not be readily sold and most have been shut down (campbell, personal communication; Dague et al., 1990). the installation of new systems has not been reported in recent literature.
