Why Aeration Diffuser Quality Matters
By: Tom Frankel
Post Date: julio 10th 2024
Diffused aeration systems are a vital component of wastewater treatment facilities. They improve water quality by introducing oxygen into the wastewater, allowing anaerobic bacteria to digest particles suspended in it. This process eliminates taste and odor and increases water quality.
Diffusers are responsible for aerating the water by creating bubbles and facilitating continuous water movement. Because diffusers have a direct influence on the success of the treatment process, it’s important to use a quality model from a reputable supplier.
Premium Diffusers From SSI Aeration, Inc.
SSI Aeration, Inc. designs and manufactures high-grade equipment for water treatment facilities, including diffusers. Built for small- or large-scale use, aeration diffusers from our brand offer the following desirable characteristics:
- Durability: Wastewater treatment facilities operate nonstop. Diffusers and the rest of the aeration system must be capable of handling sustained use to prevent interruption in the treatment process. Our diffusers are resistant to corrosion and have a longer life span than those from competitors.
- Energy efficiency: Given the continuous nature of their operations, most water treatment facilities prefer energy-saving equipment. Our aeration diffusers require minimal energy to disperse bubbles in the water, which translates to savings in the long run.
- Ease of maintenance: Aeration diffusers have fewer mechanical parts than mechanical diffusers. This design makes them the ideal choice for wastewater treatment plants. With our durable diffusers, there’s less need for repairs, which means lower maintenance costs for plant operators.
- Fouling resistance: Fouling is the buildup of debris and other biological growth inside the diffuser. It blocks airflow and negatively affects the performance of the entire system. Our diffusers resist fouling and don’t need frequent monitoring.
Types of Bubble Diffusers
As a global leader in the design, manufacture and installation of aeration systems, SSI Aeration, Inc. has an array of high-quality bubble diffusers for various applications.
- Fine bubble diffusers: These models typically disperse bubbles with a diameter of 1 to 3 millimeters. For this category, we offer tube diffusers, disc diffusers and needle-perforated diffusers.
- Coarse bubble diffusers: Coarse bubble designs release larger bubbles and have stronger mixing capability. They are also less prone to fouling due to the increased size of their pores.
