The Leopold Clari-DAF system is a proven, highly effective method of removing turbidity, insoluble metals (iron, manganese, arsenic), algae, color, taste and odor, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and other low-density particulates from water. Its peformance is superior to gravity sedimentation in providing consistent quality effluent, producing consistently high sludge solids, and operating at high loading rates-results that can lower the total cost of operation.
