For a high-performance aeration system, use our strip diffuser: here, we explain what it is
Having a truly effective ventilation system , that is able to guarantee a high supply of oxygen to the wastewater to be treated, means opting for high quality products.
In this regard, our strip diffusers take advantage of the most sophisticated technologies, are designed to last over time and can be installed in a short time.
Strip diffusers: general features
S.C.M. Tecnologie designs and manufactures different solutions that are characterised by robustness, quality and reliability.
Scrolling through the wide assortment of our proposals, it will be possible to find our strip diffusers, which today represent the most efficient and requested aeration system .
In particular, in active sludge treatment plants, the bacteria are used in order to degrade the carbon and nitrogen contained in the wastewater.
To do this, an oxygen supply is essential, obtainable by mechanical submerged aerators or membrane diffusers fixed to the bottom of biological reactors.
Strip diffusers are now the best fine bubble aeration technology capable of achieving the best oxygen transfer efficiency.
Strip diffusers integrate a micro-perforated polyurethane membrane that allows considerable savings on the amount of air required by the system, resulting in energy and economic savings compared to classic aeration systems.
This polyurethane (PU) membrane also guarantees a very high average life time, i.e. a greater resistance than traditional EPDM and silicone membranes.
Precisely this feature makes strip diffusers perfect to be used with oxygen control systems and with seasonal systems subject to high load variability.
It is easy to guess that strip diffusers will bring many advantages, including the optimisation of consumption and the reduction of unnecessary waste.
Installation of strip diffusers
Contrary to what you may think, the installation of strip diffusers does not require long times and can be easily arranged without performing particularly invasive work.
Typically, these elements are fixed directly to the bottom of the tanks to avoid the formation of anoxic zones and the accumulation of sludge.
Alternatively, strip diffusers can also be installed on removable frames, a smart option when the tanks need to be serviced without having to empty them.
In addition, the modular structure of the strips allows easy assembly even between elements of different lengths, an additional advantage to be taken into account.
Operation and use
During operation, the membrane of the strip diffusers will tend to swell, opening the small holes and consequently causing the air to exit in the form of microbubbles.
Once the blower stops, the membrane returns to the initial position and the pressure exerted by the water brings it back into contact with the base profile.
With regard to air supply, this can be implemented through a single manifold, or through appropriately partitioned lines in order to simplify maintenance management.
It should also be noted that the polyurethane membrane guarantees durability over time and low maintenance. At all times this membrane can always be replaced while maintaining the base support structure of the diffuser.
Our strip diffusers can be used in different areas related to water treatment processes, where it is essential to aerate the sewage. In the absence of adequate oxygen supply, in fact, it will not be possible to activate the biological processes of oxidation , nitrification and aerobic digestion of sludge.
Why Choose Strip Diffusers
When it comes time to design and complete a high-performance ventilation system, many solutions can be adopted, but thanks to our strip diffusers, many benefits can be obtained.
It should also be noted that with modern SMART STRIP DIFFUSER a further step has been taken, introducing several important improvements, able to optimise operating costs and reduce environmental impact.
Here are the goals that have been achieved:
- Reduction of operating costs
Fast and economical replacement can in fact take place directly on the spot! Assembly is also ready and secure. - Reduction of environmental impact
Less waste due to lower quantities of adhesive plastics, use of recycled materials for the support structure, reduced Carbon Footprint by 25%, support structure and other components that can be made directly on site, low transport costs thanks to the reduced packaging volume.
Compared to other microbubble systems on the market, strip diffusers ensure:
- high oxygen transfer efficiency with low pressure drops;
- possibility to replace the membrane on site, in a short time and with low costs, maintaining the existing basic structure and without ground brackets. The anchors, in fact, are fixed directly on the base structure;
- use of recycled and recyclable materials during production;
- reduced buoyancy thrust in case of installation on removable frames.
