AEROSTRIP® Type Q
Manufacturer: AQUACONSULT
Country: Austria
AEROSTRIP® Type Q is an AQUACONSULT series of plate-type membrane diffusers for fine-bubble aeration in municipal and industrial biological wastewater treatment. The series includes versions with different lengths and active diffuser areas; the required configuration is selected according to design airflow and project conditions.
Air passes through a perforated polyurethane membrane and enters the water as fine bubbles. This supplies oxygen for biological treatment processes in activated-sludge tanks and attached-growth systems.
Type Q construction
PVC base profile, retaining clips and air inlet;
replaceable polyurethane PUR membrane;
horizontal air socket with 32 mm outside diameter;
replaceable membrane design;
construction intended for wastewater aeration systems.
The series is available in lengths from 1010 to 4010 mm. Depending on the variant, diffuser area ranges from 0.18 to 0.70 m² and the optimum airflow range extends from 1.8–14 to 7–56 Nm³/h. These values apply to different Type Q variants and must not be interpreted as the specifications of one universal model.
AQUACONSULT recommends AEROSTRIP® Type Q for application temperatures below 30 °C. Diffuser length, quantity and operating airflow must be selected according to project conditions.
