JetFlex TD™ Tube Diffuser | JetFlex HD™ Disc Diffuser

Tube and disc comparison

In order to determine the optimum aeration equipment, following questions should be considered:

• Type of wastewater being treated including any special characteristics,
• Type of treatment process being operated or considered,
• Electrical energy cost per kWh
• Type and capacity of existing aeration components,
• Number and capacity of existing or proposed blowers,
• Number and configuration of existing or proposed reactors,
• Ability to access reactors including ability to dewater and take off-line

Since for every treatment plant several restrictions for the overall configuration apply there is no general guide-line for choosing the optimum diffuser. The experienced designer will consider certain outlines as “one disc diffuser can treat the wastewater of 30 people” and “2 discs are equal to one meter of tube diffuser” or “air speed in the laterals should not exceed 10 m/s” etc.
