About Heron Innovators About Heron Innovators, Inc. Engineered for industrial poultry, meat & processing applications, Heron Innovator’s (now Komline-Heron) Suspended Air® Flotation (SAF®) system delivers the next generation of wastewater treatment performance, removing fats, oils, grease (FOG), and solids with unmatched efficiency and reliability. Unlike conventional dissolved air flotation (DAF) systems, SAF® generates microbubbles at atmospheric pressure and injects them into the waste stream with no compressors, saturators, or pressure tanks. The result is a simpler, safer, and more energy-efficient process, often cutting power consumption by up to 80% while producing a thicker, more stable float blanket that’s easier to dewater. Built for the high FOG, high load demands of rendering, poultry, and meat processing operations, SAF® systems consistently achieve >99% removal of TSS and FOG, even with variable flows and challenging influent. Compact. Robust. Proven. From primary or secondary treatment to DAF replacements and sludge thickening, Komline-Heron’s SAF® systems offer a smaller footprint, lower maintenance, and faster ROI, backed by decades of wastewater innovation from Komline’s Water & Process Group. Heron Innovators offers turnkey, packaged fully integrated water and wastewater treatment systems featuring Suspended Air® Flotation (SAF®). Suspended Air® Flotation (SAF®) is an advanced water treatment technology that outperforms conventional methods such as clarifiers, thickeners, or any flotation process. SAF® rapidly separates suspended solids, oils, and other contaminants from water with exceptional efficiency. It delivers higher removal rates, thicker solids, lower operating costs, and has a smaller footprint, making it ideal for industrial and municipal water treatment applications. Designed for efficiency, reliability, and sustainability, SAF® is the simple and easy wastewater treatment solution. Connect with us and explore Heron Innovators and Suspended Air®.

Heron Innovators, Inc. manufacturers Suspended Air® Flotation (SAF®) water and wastewater treatment systems. SAF® is a technology which creates and harvests only the smallest aphrons to remove contaminants not dissolved in water (TSS, FOG and sludge). An aphron is a robust double-walled bubble that will not coalesce offering superior removal efficiencies. SAF® does not dissolve air into water and no pressurization is necessary making it easy and simple to use and maintain. Suspended Air® Flotation (SAF®) Advantages: - Cleaner effluent - Smaller footprint - competitive capital cost - lower operational costs - easier installation and start-up - less operator attention - less maintenance - Customers say, "It just works."
