We are pleased to announce that SSI patented PTFE disc diffusers have been installed at the Omsk WWTP in Siberia. Omsk is the second largest Siberian city. Novisibirsk, the largest Siberian city, located 400 miles East of Omsk, has also selected SSI diffusers for its wastewater treatment plant. This system will be installed shortly.

Below are some photographs from Omsk.

LaGrange, NY is a town of 15,000 people in Dutchess County, Upstate New York. Quite a few SSI staff members are proud residents of LaGrange. It was an honor to have SSI PTFE diffusers selected for our home town Titusville WWTP. It may not be one of our largest installations but we are very happy about it.

Solofra , South Italy , is the biggest WWTP for tannery sewage in Italy and is among the largest in Europe . Incoming waste water flow is 9600 m3/day. Usual sludges concentration in the process are 10-14 kg/m3. Salts are as usual in tannery plus high carbonate concentration in the local water supply.

In early 2009 after a few weeks a lot of membranes popped out from a new aeration system supplied by a competitor.

The client ran tests with SSI membranes, including SSI’s patented PTFE coated membranes. In July 2009 we supplied 5500 SSI membranes PTFE 2×2 mm slit. These membranes were installed in August 2009.

The membranes are working quite well ; workmen in the plant are telling us the SSI PTFE membranes are “ walking like strong mules ……”.

Service from Tecneco Service and SSI at the beginning of the story to face and solve the problem successfully removed a big headache for this client.

We are pleased to announce that SSI has signed contracts with SETE Energia Saudia to provide fine bubble aeration systems utilizing SSI’s patent-pending fEPDM disc diffusers for heat and fouling resistance to the industrial cities of Yanbu and Jubail. This is a prestigious contract and we are proud to be a part of it.
