The FlexAir

disc diffuser provides unmatched

mechanical strength, operating flexibility and
oxygen transfer efficiency. The innovative
Spectrum Saddle Mount provides maximum
mechanical integrity up to three times the
strength of conventional solvent welded
mounting systems.
The FlexAir disc diffuser is provided with
premium quality membrane materials that are
engineered by the EDI Membrane Technologies
division. EDIs proprietary membrane materials
are engineered for superior product life. Multiple
membrane perforations are available to optimize
the performance of the diffuser for maximum
operating efficiency. An integral triple check valve
feature prevents the backflow of liquid into the
diffuser and piping.
The FlexAir disc diffuser is ideally suited for on/off
applications and requires minimal maintenance for
long-term performance.

The EDI FlexAir disc diffuser allows easy
conversion to ceramic media as required and all
diffusion media options (ceramic and membrane)
are compatible with other 9-inch disc diffusers.
The diffuser assembly and Spectrum Saddle
Mount is available in glass-fiber reinforced
polypropylene for maximum performance. This
material option offers greater mechanical and
temperature capabilities as conventional PVC or
CPVC products. The Spectrum Saddle Mount
is compatible with any pipe material and is
available in 3 and 4-inch, and 90 and 110-mm
diameter sizes. This flexibility allows the air
conveyance system to be sized to match project
objectives.
The Spectrum Saddle Mount features an air
inlet port that inserts into pipe and the KlicLoc
retainer positively locks the assembly to the
lateral piping. Once installed, the assembly can
withstand an external perimeter load in excess
of 700 pounds (318 kgs) without failure.

EDI FlexAir Disc diffusers are fine
pore, flexible membrane diffusers that
provide operational flexibility with
maximum oxygen transfer efficiency.
FlexAir disc diffusers components are
constructed of glass filled
polypropylene and are suitable for a
wide range of wastewater applications
as well as deep tank (high
temperature) applications.
FlexAir disc diffusers are configured
with premium quality membrane that
are engineered by the Membrane
Technology division at EDI.
Alternate membrane materials are
available for non-standard industrial or
municipal applications. Multiple
perforations are also available for
optimized oxygen transfer efficiency or
air handling performance.
FlexAir disc diffuser units may be
operated over a wide airflow range and
require minimum maintenance for
long-term performance. Diffuser units
may be operated intermittently as each
individual diffuser features a triple
check valve assembly to prevent
intrusion of liquid or solids into the
diffuser or air piping.
r0608
Optimum oxygen transfer efficiency is achieved when operating in the middle to low end of the airflow range. The approximate
operating pressure of the diffuser at the mid-range is 13 to 16 inches.
Operating the unit at the high end of the range will result in reduced performance and increased operating pressure. Use the maximum
airflow value for short term operations such as peak loads or system maintenance.
