The air diffusers were developed to overcome the limitations of traditional coarse and fine bubble designs. While most conventional air diffusers can clog with accumulated sludge when airflow is interrupted due to a blower shut down or power failure, Tideflex air diffusers prevent the backflow of sludge to keep the manifold clear. The integral check valve also allows the air supply to be shut down at will, resulting in cost savings from reduced energy consumption. Blowers no longer have to run around the clock to keep air diffusers clear.
The company offers both course and fine bubble mixing systems. The diffusers were designed for ease of installation and require no special or proprietary manifold piping or connections. They are ideal for new or retrofit applications.
Tideflex coarse bubble mixing systems are available in all stainless steel. They are manufactured as modular systems which can be installed by maintenance staff of a wastewater treatment facility, simplifying replacement of outdated equipment.
The coarse bubble systems provide enhanced mixing for high solids applications. They are used in biosolids waste management systems including aerobic digesters, sludge holding tanks, raw waste equalizations tanks and any process that contains high solids concentrations.
The company also offers coarse bubble channel mixing systems with stainless steel removable assemblies. They are used to mix and aerate wastewater connection channels. The detachable assemblies are designed for removal without having to dewater the channel. The diffuser orientation prevents solids from accumulating along the channel floor.
