Wide Band Diffusers

Wide Band systems have many characteristics that set them apart from other types of diffusers. Wide Band diffuser specifications and features include:

• Durable Stainless Steel Material
• Removable Deflectors
• Easily Replaceable Fixtures
• 1.7-2.5% SOTE/m Oxygen Transfer Rates
• Cast Endcaps

The Wide Band diffuser operates by creating an air reservoir, which allows air to pass freely through it. With help from the deflector plate at the bottom of the system, the diffuser keeps debris and sediment from entering or backing up the device’s functions. Corrosion-resistance and flexibility help this diffuser deliver balanced air distribution to all piping systems.

• SSI Wide Band diffusers are available in 304L or 316L stainless steel
• Designed to be clog-free with oxygen transfer rates of 0.5 to 0.8% per foot of submergence (1.7 to 2.5% SOTE/m)
• Reliable alpha value plus economic design to cover tank floor make the SSI Wide Band the ideal choice for mixing in aerobic digesters, channels, equalization tanks and grit chambers
• Cast endcaps are welded all around
• Removable deflectors supplied with each diffuser

While frequent maintenance and repairs can slow operations and lead to downtime, Wide Band diffusers use their clogging prevention capabilities and improved alpha factor to keep processes running smoothly. SSI Wide Band systems optimize efficiency by reducing the risks of harmful bacteria growth and plugged openings, which can present concerns with fine bubble diffusers.

The oxygen transfer rates of SSI Wide Band diffusers may reach up to 0.8% per foot of submergence. Oxygen transfer is a major function of diffuser systems. It requires large amounts of air and energy, especially for larger bubble diffusers. With our efficient transfer rates, users can more effectively balance the supply of oxygen in their aerobic tanks.
