Congratulations to John Bresler and Jett Pump on the award from Miller-Sage construction for the Chelsea Michigan wastewater treatment plant expansion project. This is a stainless steel coarse bubble aeration system.

Many thanks to Mr. Kunihiko Sasajima of Nippon Plawder in Japan, SSI’s Japanese Distributor, for submitting US manufactured SSI patent-pending fEPDM membranes for spectral analysis and high resolution microscope photography. Also attached is a microscope photo of an EPDM membrane from the SSI lab at SSI Headquarters in Poughkeepsie for comparison.

Below please find photos of how aeration can be added to a tank with a stepped floor.
These come from Federalsburg, Maryland.

Thanks to Rob Kershner of Kershner Environmental for these photos.

Congratulations to DJ Gongol and Associates (SSI Rep for Iowa and Nebraska) and Environquip Ltda. (SSI Distributor in Brazil) on their recent successful installation of SSI Snappy SaddleTM tube diffusers. The photos below show SSI tube diffusers at Grand Island, Nebraska, and Breneck S.A. Paineis e Serrados (large wood paneling manufacturer), Araucaria, Parana, Brazil. The Grand Island job uses 3″ EPDM tube diffusers, and the Brazil job is with 2″ PTFE tube diffusers.

Incidentally the Grand Island contractor, who had also installed SSI disc diffusers at Denison, Iowa in past years, commented to the plant owner how much easier SSI diffusers are to install than other brands.

We would like to thank all of our representatives throughout the world for their continued activity and sales of SSI aeration systems, fine bubble diffusers, and coarse bubble diffusers. Once in a while, we get an opportunity to show how grateful we are. On Sunday evening, after the first day of WEFTEC, we held a Rep Appreciation Dinner at Morton’s Steakhouse in Chicago for our US and Canadian reps. On Monday evening, we held a dinner for our International representatives who attended the show. Below are some photos of some of the award winners at Sunday night’s dinner. Special congratulations to Drydon Equipment, HRM Environmental, Correct Equipment, Kershner Environmental Technologies, NWT and Jett Pump and Valve on their outstanding sales records.

WEFTEC 2008 was an excellent show for SSI in the sense that we received many serious enquiries from around the country and around the world at the show, particularly related to our PTFE, fEPDM, and Snappy SaddleTM diffused aeration products, but in a general sense the show was less well attended than in previous years. We heard many stories of Engineers who drove themselves to the show because their firms were cutting back on travel and other expenditures this year. Those that attended our booth mostly were working on projects that require fine bubble diffusers or coarse bubble diffusers.

WEFTEC starts Sunday October 19th, 2008 and runs through Wednesday October 22.

Please visit SSI in Hall B, booth 28199

We hope to see you there!

We have completed the online biological calculators in US and Metric units. With these calculators it is possible to estimate fine bubble and coarse bubble diffuser quantities, airflow rates, blower pressures, and other typical outputs required for aeration system and wastewater treatment plant design. Please visit http://www.stamfordscientific.com/ssi/ to try them out. On the left side of the page at the bottom you will see the link.
