AEROSTRIP - Ultrafine Bubble Diffuser System
Advanced perforation technology and a high strength polyurethane membrane are the secrets to the AEROSTRIP® fine pore diffusers high performance and long service life. Ovivo guarantees clean water transfer efficiencies of 8.5-10%/m (2.6-3.0% ft) side-water depth (SWD) in virtually all applications.- Highest proven oxygen transfer efficiency in the world
- Longest service life on the market
- Online maintenance with flexible diffuser operation
- No dead zones
Aeration accounts for about 50% of a wastewater treatment plant’s energy bill and can consume significant maintenance resources to maintain performance. Reducing these operational costs while meeting today’s stringent permit limits is imperative for municipalities and industries today. AEROSTRIP diffusers have been the leading technology to reduce operational costs and improve plant performance since 1996 with over 1,000 worldwide installations (over 60 in the United States).
- Guaranteed standard oxygen transfer efficiency (SOTE) up to 10%/m (3%/ft) SWD
- Membrane service life of 10 – 15+ years while maintaining peak perfromance
- Perforation allows for intermittent operation and an automatic flex cleaning cycle
- Evenly-spaced, floor mounted diffusers use the entire process volume

AEROSTRIP diffusers use polyurethane membranes mounted on PVC or stainless steel bases. The membrane material offers about three times the strength of conventional EPDM membranes with less than one-third the thickness. The result is a long-lasting diffuser that retains its performance characteristics over many years.
AEROSTRIP diffusers can handle an operational flux range between 5 – 120 Nm3/m2/hr (0.3 – 7.1scfm/ft2), the widest range in the industry. In addition, AEROSTRIP diffusers are perfectly suited for intermittent operation without plugging or fouling of the pores. AEROSTRIP diffusers have been used extensively in SBRs, MBRs and industrial applications, as well as conventional activated sludge facilities.
Our floor mounted system makes for easy installation with many facilities opting to install the systems themselves. Upgrading their facilities with an AEROSTRIP system has allowed plant operators to save up to 50% on their energy bills, eliminate dead zones in their basins and eliminate much of their maintenance burden in favor of our online system.
- Energy savings pay back your investment in 2-10 years
- Floor mounting increases available process volume eliminating dead zones
- Intermittent operation possible without plugging of pores; AEROSTRIP technology used extensively SBRs, MBRs, and industrial applications.
