The OXIWORKS® Diffuser
OXIWORKS® is a high efficiency fine bubble diffuser
designed for use in the BIOWORKS® extended aeration process.
How It Works
From the blowers and air main, the compressed air is supplied to each floating lateral header. The air then flows
through the 1” connectors and downcomer hoses into the OXIWORKS® diffuser assembly.
In the diffuser, the air is distributed through the tubular membranes, creating 1 mm diameter fine air bubbles, for
aeration and mixing. The lateral oscillating motion of the floating laterals combined with the suspended diffusers,
allows continuous free movement within the bioreactor.
The OXIWORKS® moving fine bubble aeration system offers two major advantages over fixed diffusers:
•t The oxygen transfer driving force is maximized because the diffusers continuously move towards areas of low
dissolved oxygen. This increases the overall efficiency of the system and achieves substantial energy savings.
•t The moving diffusers mix a significantly larger area than the
equivalent number of fixed diffusers, because the slow movement
allows the laterals to oscillate over a wide area. OXIWORKS® can
reduce the required mixing intensity (air) by 30% compared to
fixed systems.
