SCM Tecnologie Airex disc diffusers: Innovation in aeration
In the world of aeration, SCM Tecnologie Airex disc diffusers are a cutting-edge solution to ensure effective oxygen transfer.
These devices are designed to offer high efficiency, with the possibility of customising size, holes and materials according to the specific needs of each system. In addition, organised in networks, they allow an excellent distribution of aeration in the tank.
Size and holes of disc diffusers: a solution for all needs
Airex disc diffusers come in two main sizes: 9” and 12”. This variety allows it to adapt to different unit air flow rates.
SCM has a warehouse for disc diffusers ready for delivery, equipped with standard holes, which is the most commonly used. On request, it is possible to create different hole patterns for specific needs.
To meet more and more needs, we recently introduced the Airex 9-L model, a “light” version both in terms of design and price, characterized by the integrated ring nut and produced with a lower amount of plastic compared to Airex 9.
Membrane materials: a choice for every application
The membrane material plays a crucial role in the performance of the diffusers. EPDM, a type of elastomer, is the most commonly used material, ideal for most municipal applications and many industrial applications.
However, for particularly aggressive or high temperature wastewater, a silicone membrane is available. Other variants include PTFE-coated EPDM, ideal for industrial wastewater or wastewater containing salt.
Efficiency and maintenance: the secret of a successful aeration system
Among the various aeration systems available on the market, Airex membrane diffusers stand out for their ability to offer the best performance in terms of oxygen transfer. By designing and appropriately sizing the aeration system and the blower, it is possible to achieve yields of up to 3 kgO2/kWh.
To maintain this efficiency over time, regular cleaning of the membranes is essential.
SCM Tecnologie offers a complete cleaning system, consisting of a pumping unit, a distribution manifold, a control panel, valves and nozzles.
Over time, the membranes may need to be replaced. Fortunately, they are easily available as spare parts and can be replaced when necessary, thus ensuring a long life of the aeration system.
Diffuser networks: a tailor-made solution for every tank
One of the main advantages of Airex disc diffusers is the possibility of arranging them in aeration networks, adapting to tanks of any size and shape. SCM Tecnologie’s technical department designs and dimensions these networks, offering tailor-made solutions for each customer.
Thanks to the use of materials such as PVC pipes and PVC or PP fittings, and the adoption of innovative solutions to reduce the assembly and installation times of the systems, SCM Tecnologie diffuser networks are the ideal choice for those looking for efficiency and customisation.
The networks can also be made of stainless steel, and in a removable version, with the advantage of being able to install them even when the tank is full, eliminating the need to empty it.
In conclusion, SCM Tecnologie’s Airex disc diffusers are a complete and customisable solution for the aeration needs of each system.
With a wide range of sizes, materials and hole patterns, as well as a quality design and after-sales service, they are the ideal choice for those looking for efficiency and durability.
