1. Understanding AquaSust Diffuser
AquaSust Diffuser are typically made from materials such as rubber or PTFE or EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) and are designed with fine or coarse bubble diffusers. These diffusers are mounted on the bottom of aeration tanks, where they release air bubbles that rise through the water column, transferring oxygen from the air to the water.

The performance of an AquaSust Diffuser is influenced by several factors, including the size and distribution of the bubbles, the depth of the water, and the air pressure. Accurately accounting for the aeration volume involves measuring the amount of oxygen transferred to the water and the efficiency of the disk in different operational conditions.
2. Methods Of Accounting For Aeration Volume

1. Determine The Amount Of Aeration Requirements:
According to the water quality parameters, sewage treatment process design and treatment scale, calculate the required amount of oxygen supply.
Generally determined by calculating oxygen demand (Standard Oxygen Transfer Rate, SOTR).
2. Select The Appropriate Type Of Diffuser
According to the treatment needs, select the appropriate aeration disk model, consider the specifications of the aeration disk (diameter), material and scope of application.

3. Determine The Oxygen Transfer Rate Of A Single Disc Diffuser
Aeration disk manufacturers usually provide aeration disk oxygen transfer rate (Oxygen Transfer Efficiency, OTE), that is, the amount of oxygen transferred per unit time of each disc.


4. Calculate The Oxygen Supply Capacity Of A Single AquaSust Diffuser

Oxygen supply capacity of a single diffuser = OTE × gas volume (usually in Nm³/h)


AS-DD215 Standard aeration volume: 2 Nm³/h

AS-DD270 Standard aeration volume: 3 Nm³/h

AS-DD350 Standard aeration capacity: 5 Nm³/h

AS-TD63 Standard Aeration: 7 Nm³/h

AS-TD93 Standard Aeration: 12 Nm³/h

AS-TD113 Standard Aeration: 20 Nm³/h


5. Determine the number of aeration trays required:

Total oxygen demand ÷ Oxygen supply capacity of a single aeration pan = number of disc diffuser required

Considerations For Accurate Measurement
1. Water Depth: The efficiency of oxygen transfer decreases with increasing water depth due to the pressure effects on bubble size and buoyancy.

2. Bubble Size: Fine bubble diffusers provide higher oxygen transfer efficiency compared to coarse bubble diffusers, but they require higher maintenance.

3. Air Pressure and Flow Rate: Optimal air pressure and flow rate are crucial for maximizing oxygen transfer while minimizing energy consumption.

4. Water Quality: Factors such as temperature, salinity, and presence of contaminants can affect oxygen solubility and transfer rates.

Accurately accounting for the aeration volume of aeration disks is essential for optimizing water and wastewater treatment processes. By employing methods such as SOTE, OTR, dynamic off-gas analysis,operators can ensure efficient oxygen transfer and system performance. Consideration of factors like water depth, bubble size, air pressure, and water quality further enhances the accuracy of measurements and the effectiveness of the aeration system.

By implementing these methods and considerations, water treatment facilities can achieve better aeration efficiency, lower operational costs, and improved environmental compliance, contributing to sustainable water management practices.
