aerationThe–most–energy–intensive–operation–in–an–activated–sludge–treatment–plant– is–aeration.–50%–to–75%–of–a–plant’s– total–energy– costs– are– associated–with–mixing– and–aerating– in–the–secondary–process.–Parkson’s–newest–generation–of–its–HiOx®–platform,–the–UltraFlex–Aeration–System,–represents–a– breakthrough– in– aeration– technology– through– the–application–of–basic–aeration–principles.Low Energy CostsThe–HiOx®–UltraFlex–Aeration–panel,–with– its–1–mm–ultra-fine–bubbles,–achieves–very–high–SOTE–(standard–oxygen–transfer–efficiency).–The–high–density–basin–floor–coverage,–thanks– to– rectangular–panels– versus– the–more–commonly–used– discs,– only– helps– to– enhance– a– basin’s– aeration–performance.– With– the– additional– membrane– area,– the–HiOx®–Aeration–panels–operate–at–a–lower–air–flux–rate–than–traditional–diffused–air–systems.–Lower–air–flux–rates–mean–excellent– efficiency,– significantly– lower– air– requirements,–and–therefore–lower–energy–costs.Easy Operation and MaintenanceSimple– air– flexing– keeps– the– HiOx®– UltraFlex–membrane–panels– clean– and– operating– at– peak– efficiency– for– years.–Each–small–group–of–panels–(generally–one–or–two)–is–typically–Lowest Installed CostsThe– HiOx®– UltraFlex– Aeration– System– requires– a– small–fraction– of– the– number– of– diffusers– typically– required– for–fine–bubble–systems.–Fewer–diffusers–correspond–into–less–piping.–One–HiOx®–panel–is–equivalent–to–60–of–the–9”–disc–diffusers.– It– takes– less– than– 4– man-hours– to– completely–install–one–HiOx®–panel,–which–is–only–half– the–time–when–compared– to– installing– 60– disc– diffusers.– In– a– new– plant,–smaller–blowers–and–reduced–air–piping–provide–significant–savings.– For– plants– already– using– traditional– fine– bubble–diffusers,– it– is–generally–easy– to–add–significant– treatment–capacity– simply– by– switching– to– HiOx®– UltraFlex– panels–without–the–need–of–additional–basins.HiOx® System OptionsControls– can– be– as– simple– or– as– sophisticated– as–required– to– ensure– the– HiOx®– UltraFlex– panel– system–delivers– the– exact– amount– of– oxygen– for– the– most–efficient–operation.–The–system–can–also–be–designed– for–expansion.– In–a–new–installation,–fewer–panels–may–be–required–initially–while– maintaining– the– option– to– add– HiOx®– panels– as–the– need– increases.– The– HiOx®– panel– is– available– in–12’– length–with– an–option–of– 10’– length– for– tighter– tank–retrofits.Parkson– has– hundreds– of– aeration– panel– installations–worldwide.–The–new–HiOx®–UltraFlex–can–easily–retrofit–the–existing–aeration–panel– installations–by–reusing– the–piping–and–anchors,–thereby–making–retrofits–convenient–and–cost–effective.–Existing–fine–bubble–diffusers–can–also–be–retrofitted–with–new–HiOx®–panels–by–making–minor–modifications–to–the–piping,–providing–the–most–optimum–solution–to–the–customer.HiOx®– also– provides– the– capability– of– a– lift-out– system–where–it–is–not–possible–to–drain–the–basins–during–retrofits.–This–provides–the–flexibility–in–retrofitting–applications–where–redundant–basins–are–not–available.–Guaranteed

the– best– features– of– the–long-standing– HiOx®– design– as– well– as– numerous– new–features–for–ease–of–installation,–maintenance–and–enhanced–performance.–The–performance–of–HiOx®–panels–has–been–evaluated–per–ASCE’s–“Measurement–of–Oxygen–Transfer–in–Clean–Water”–testing.–Every–panel–is–tested–for–even–air–distribution–before–shipments–to–the–jobsite.supplied– with– an– individual– air– feed– system– designed– to–allow–maximum– flexibility– in– operation– and– maintenance.–Operators–can–fine-tune–the–air–distribution–in–the–aeration–basins–to–best–match–the–plant’s–specific–and/–or–changing–needs.–Individual–panels–can–be–isolated–from–the–system–and–repaired–during–regular–scheduled–maintenance.HiOx®–panels–could–operate–in–a–wide–range–of–air–flux–rates–from–0.5–to–3–SCFM/ft2,–and–can–handle–variable–loads.–The–high–
