AFC Coarse Bubble Disc Diffusers For Wastewater Treatment

APPLICATIONS OF COARSE BUBBLE DIFFUSERS

SSI’s coarse bubble disc diffusers have the following applications:

Equipment: Clients most commonly use AFC cap diffusers in equalization tanks and aerobic digesters. These applications do not prioritize high-rate oxygen transfer efficiency.
Piping: Piping systems that use cap diffusers tend to have PVC, CPVC or stainless steel materials. Construction types can include drilled and tapped pipes, welded 3/4-inch FNPT SS or grommets.
Flow: The AFC cap diffuser’s non-clog design suits a variety of flow requirements. It can operate in intermittent and continuous conditions.

Please ask an SSI expert for more information about the uses of coarse bubble diffusers.

EPDM COMPOUND APPLICATIONS

AFC cap diffusers feature a black acrylic plastic created from an EPDM compound. SSI uses this same plastic in fine bubble disc diffusers because of its demonstrated results. It brings similar benefits to cap diffusers. EPDM materials have a compression molding process that includes a standard cure and low plasticizer content. During manufacture, SSI utilizes modern equipment with individual thermocouples and vacuum technology.

COARSE BUBBLE DIFFUSER SPECIFICATIONS

Specifications for the AFC coarse bubble diffuser include:

Connection: 3/4-inch MNPT thread
Design Flow: 3-6 SCFM (7-10 Nm3/hr)
Flow Range: 0-10 SCFM (0-17 Nm3/hr)
Slit Quantity: 10 x 5mm Ø hole

Low head loss

In operations involving normal airflow ranges (3-6 scfm), the AFC has an operating head loss of around 5-20 inches of water.

Non-clog design

The diffuser diaphragm opens under air pressure and closes when airflow stops. This design prevents particle clogging and backflow.

Advanced membrane engineering

A replaceable membrane with 10 perforations covers the diffuser base. It has a design centered around maximum bubble formation and dispersion.

These qualities and more make AFC cap diffusers an indispensable choice for a system installation.
