  • Multiple integral check vales to keep your aeration piping system clean
  • Molded membranes with individual thermocouples in each cavity provide 100% quality control
  • Low membrane plasticizer content to reduce shrinkage and hardening, but enough to avoid creep
  • 212F (100C) temperature resistance and environmentally friendly high temperature ABS body
  • Affordably priced for first use or retrofit

ECD Diffusers

For cost conscious customers SSI Aeration offers our economy line of diffusers. The ECD diffusers (Patent Pending) are composed of a single piece  molded body integrated with SSI’s standard EPDM membrane. The single mold body allows SSI to offer a lower price point per diffuser while still including our proven EPDM membranes. The single mold design does not allow for membrane replacement, however given its low initial cost the entire diffuser is easily replaceable.

Available in both 7″ and 9″ diameter the ECD diffuser series features a 3/4 MNPT connection and is compatible with our PVC Grommet.

 

  • Available in both 9″ and 7″ diameter sizing
  • Single mold design allowing cost savings
  • Standard EPDM membrane injected into Diffuser
  • Popular in applications where capital cost is a deciding factor

ECT Diffusers

SSI’s ECT70 tube diffusers are designed to offer high oxygen transfer efficiency, low pressure loss, and a simple
installation. Our new ECD70 diffusers are available with a variety of membrane materials including our patented
PTFE membranes, designed to use less energy and require minimal maintenance. Strong Polypropelyene body
makes handling during installation easy, provides temperature resistance up to 1900 F (900 C), and is
environmentally friendly. ECT diffusers feature a channel style support body which extends membrane life in
on/off applications.
