We are pleased to announce the commissioning of one of the world’s largest MBR plants, operating with SSI fine bubble disc diffusers. The system is operational, and operator training was conducted in February of 2010. Thanks to KAME, Galfar, and VA Tech Wabag for allowing us the opportunity to work together on this well executed project.
What may start out as a high efficiency diffuser doesn’t always stay that way! It’s important to select fine bubble diffusers on the basis of overall wire-to-water efficiency ( as we discussed in a blog posting a couple of weeks ago) but also to select a diffuser membrane material that doesn’t lose it’s initial physical properties.

Todd Ritter and Tom Frankel of SSI Exhibited at Pollutec in Paris, France together with French agents AAVE, Mr. Bernard GLEIZAL and Mrs. Veronique GRICOURT, and Brazilian agent Environquip Ltda., Ms. Patricia Sorgi. On display were SSI’s fine bubble disc diffusers, tube diffusers, and complete aeration systems. SSI’s PTFE dispersion coating membranes were a big hit. The show was well attended by visitors, including SSI agent Mabarex of Quebec, Canada.

There is a common misconception in the marketplace about what type of diffuser is the most efficient. Many very intelligent people are led to believe that rectangular panel diffusers are more efficient than discs or tubes. This may have been true at one time…

We are pleased to announce the completion of our pressure monitoring system animation video. SSI fine bubble aeration systems are available with a variety of options, including this system. It is quite useful to determine the cleaning frequency of your aeration system without having to drain the basin.
This system can be used with SSI disc diffusers and tube diffusers and all fine bubble diffusers.
We are pleased to announce the startup of the first basin of SSI PTFE Coated 9″ Fine Bubble Disc Diffusers at the Port Huron WWTP in Michigan. Below are some pictures taken during the installation and commissioning. PTFE coated membranes were selected on the basis of their long life expectency. These are underground tanks which are difficult to access and they did not want a frequent maintenance requirement.
