The Most efficient method to clean and restore aeration diffusers
- Aeration is the greatest energy consumer at a wastewater treatment facility amounting to an approximate of 45 to 70% of plant energy.
- All fine pore membranes foul regardless of make and manufacturer!!
- Factors that cause diffuser fouling: Bio Film coating, plugging diffuser orifice, scaling/precipitation of inorganic salts.
- Fouling reduces efficiency as well as performance.
Insitu Aeration Diffuser cleaning services
- Sureflo offers in-situ chemical cleaning of diffusers that not only clean the diffusers but gives better performance, efficiency and reduce energy requirements for diffuser operations.
- Fouled State: Notice large bubbles and sporadic aeration pattern of a dirty membrane. – High Pressure & Low Efficiency.
- After cleaning: Bubbles are much smaller and more even distribution of air. Pressure and Efficiency Restored.

ENERGY SAVING
- Significantly reduce energy that is devoted to running blowers for aeration.
- Reduction in energy = $$$ Savings $$$
- No need to take your system off-line. Can clean membranes while continuing to treat the wastewater and while the air is still on.
- Excellent alternative to the expensive option of replacing membranes. Consider cleaning before replacing membranes.
- Struggling to maintain DO – clean your membranes which will increase your oxygen transfer efficiency and increase DO.
- Blower pressure too high – clean your membranes which will reduce pressure and either turn down blower or turn a spare blower off.
- Local and knowledgeable support.
- Greatest return on investment.
- Extend the life of membranes by cleaning the membranes. All membranes are required to be cleaned periodically.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF ACID CLEANING YOUR MEMBRANES IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
- Are you meeting Dissolved Oxygen demand?
- Are you using more air now (higher blower rpm, increased blower pressure, using an additional blower) to treat the same amount of wastewater?
- Are you looking for ways to cut costs and improve efficiency?
- Were you once able to get proper treatment, but now struggle to get required treatment?
- Are you meeting permit requirements?
Are your blowers popping the PRV valve (pressure relief valve) on occasion? - Is there an increase in influent that may require more aeration capacity?
- Looking for an economical way to clean your membranes (Ceramic or rubber)?
- Do you have funds in your maintenance budget but not capital budget to improve process performance?
