Ecopolymer group

AERATION SYSTEMS

ECOPOLYMER offers four main types of diffusers: AQUA-PRO, AQUA-LINE, AQUA-TOR and AQUA-PLAST and also pneumatic hydraulic mixer AQUA-MIX.

Design and production technology of the diffusers are patented in Ukraine, Russia, Eurasian countries and the USA.

ECOPOLYMER diffusers are internationally recognized and successfully operate in the USA, South Korea, India, China and Japan. Not once they’ve been awarded prizes and diplomas at the international exhibitions in Singapore (Second Prize), Odessa (Grand Prix), Yekaterinburg, Kemerovo, Irkutsk and others. In 1999 ECOPOLYMER diffusers received the Ukrainian prize "The Prime Standard" and Spanish International Construction Prize "For Quality and Excellent Services" (Madrid).

The polyethylene porous diffusers are manufactured in accordance with the State Standards and Technical Terms. Application of the diffusers for potable water purposes is approved by the Ministry of Health and is annually certified by the sanitation authorities' hygienic reports about the raw materials and the diffuser components. The diffusers manufacturing process is controlled by the State Standard and the sanitation authorities, and is recognized as environmentally friendly. In our company we employ the quality system developed on the basis of the standards of ISO - 9001 series, version 2000.








Tubular diffusers:

AQUA-PRO-M aeration system

The AQUA-PRO-M diffusers are equipped by reinforced ribbed support pipe, rubber ring gaskets and taper-shaped threaded ends. The diffusers feature stable operation in tough operational conditions – within treatment of any kinds of industrial wastewater, frequent air supply interruptions, significant variations of wastewater and air flow rates. 8 years of operation without maintenance and regeneration within operation in aerobic mineralizers and aeration tanks.



Diffuser design:

1 - outer dispersion layer;
2 - inner dispersion layer;
3 - opening;
4 - support pipe.

ADVANTAGES:
  • CIS’ the most reliable and lasting diffusers;
  • high mass transfer characteristics;
  • strengthened ribbed frame;
  • even air distribution along the aeration tank;
  • long service life without regeneration;
  • threaded ends ensure simple and quick installation, as well as high durability of the joints.

AQUA-LINE-M aeration system

The distinctive design feature of the AQUA-LINE-M diffuser is a removable dispersion element. Enhanced durability of the support pipe ensures reliability and a long service life of ECOPOLYMER aeration systems. A gap between the dispersion element and the support pipe together with the optimal location of openings in the support pipe guarantees even air distribution along the diffuser. When using the AQUA-LINE-M diffusers no drop pipes are necessary.



Diffuser design:

1 - removable dispersion element;
2 - opening;
3 - support pipe;
4 - nut;
5 - ring gaskets.

ADVANTAGES:
  • fine-bubble aeration;
  • high mass transfer characteristics within the whole working range;
  • resistance to hydraulic hammers;
  • reliability, long service life;
  • ruggedness of the support pipe;
  • even air distribution along the aeration tanks;
  • fast installation;
  • a possibility to replace the dispersion element.
The diffusers of the AQUA-LINE series have proved their good qualities at WWTP in Russia, USA, Ukraine, China, South Korea and other countries.
The mass transfer characteristics of the diffusers have been obtained on the basis of the standard methodology of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).



ECOPOLYMER diffusers – are the singles in CIS, which high mass transfer characteristics were verified by Independent laboratory Certificate of the Hannover University (Germany) towns’ water industry institute.

Disk diffusers:

ECOPOLYMER offers the aeration system assembled on the basis of disc diffusers with rubber perforated membrane:



AQUA-TOR diffusers (АР-420 Т)


The AQUA-TOR diffuser provides effective wastewater oxygenation and activated sludge mixing. The unique toroid-shape form of the diffuser enables the intensive sludge mixing, due to the additional airlifting effect.





ADVANTAGES:

  • high effective mixing is provided by constructional features;
  • ability to operate both in continuous and periodic aeration mode;
  • resistance to chemical attacks;
  • non-mudded flexible membrane;
  • fine-bubble aeration and high mass transfer characteristics;
  • simplicity of structure, mounting and operation.
The AQUA-TOR diffusers can be overlapped in aeration tanks with other tubular air distribution system, simplifies civil and erection works.

AQUA-PLAST diffusers(AP-300 M)


Patented structure of the AQUA-PLAST diffusers varies from others by its perforated flexible membrane, openings quantity and location, manner of membrane to the case and the case to air-distribution pipe fastening.



Diffuser design:

1 - air pipe;
2 - perforated membrane;

ADVANTAGES:
  • high mass transfer characteristics;
  • reliable protection against wastewater ingress into the system and resistance to aggressive conditions;
  • ability to operate both in continuous and periodic aeration mode, including reserve aeration tank areas with nitrification-denitrification;
  • low mud level;
  • high reliability and continuous operation life;
  • simplicity of structure, mounting and operation.
Original structure of rubber perforated membrane provides effective diffusers operation within 10 years. System structure foresees the ability of operation terms prolongation up to 30 years with minimal expenses, by means of membrane change.

AQUA-MIX PNEUMATIC HYDRAULIC MIXERS (AC-300)

We offer AQUA-MIX pneumatic hydraulic mixers for aeration tanks with mixing areas (nitrogen and phosphorus removal). Its outward appearance makes the mixer similar to fine-bubble plate type diffuser AP-300M. The main its feature constitutes flexible membrane being non-perforated. Air diffusion is carried out by means of additional openings located at the bottom of diffuser disk case. Due to specially engineered medium-bubble disk diffuser it has become possible to achieve ultimate reduction of its mass transfer characteristics within required sludge mixing. Air, spread from the diffuser, is being used mainly for sludge mixing in aeration tank, but not for oxidation. These diffusers have proved their excellent operation abilities. (See Accomplished projects/Sewerage).



Operation principle of AQUA-MIX mixer

ADVANTAGES:
  • effective water and sludge compound mixing within minimum oxygen dissolving;
  • ability to operate both in continuous and periodic aeration mode, including reserve aeration tank areas with nitrification-denitrification and phosphorous biological removal;
  • changeability with any fine-bubble diffusers of AQUA-PLAST series;
  • simplicity of structure, mounting and operation;
  • resistance to aggressive conditions.
