Aeration, Diffusion and Sparging

Our porous range of materials is the ideal choice for use as diffusers and spargers. Their strength and uniform permeability are ideal properties for these applications.

Spargers can be used in intrusive and non-intrusive tangential pipelines for the treatment of wastewater, volatile stripping and steam injection. They can also be used in tank applications for fermentation, agitation, bioremediation, oxygen stripping, de-watering and dissolved air flotation processes. These are technologies used in a wide range of industries such as in the chemical, petrochemical and food and beverage industries.

Typical applications

• Aeration
• Aeration treatment of municipal and industrial organic and biological effluent.
• Aeration for fish farms and aquariums.

• Sparging
• By fine bubble diffusion, the transfer of gases to liquids such as carbonation.
• Floatation after flocculation in industrial-effluent treatment.

Features and benefits

• Rigid and robust for easy cleaning.
• Low fouling during operation.
• Uniform porosity, leading to uniform bubble pattern, therefore no dead spaces.
• Fine uniform bubble pattern, leading to excellent oxygen transfer in waste treatment and excellent floatation characteristics.
