A complete tube diffuser Bioflex® consists of two diffuser elements. Concerning the Bioflex®ll these are mounted with four screws composed of stainless steel on a cicular tube. Concerning the Bioflex®lV HPI they are connected through thread adapters with a double nipple. Each element consists of a support tube with inside thread, a slitted sleeve membrane, two clamps to fasten the membrane onto the support tube, and an O-seal for sealing between the distribution pipe and the diffuser element. To avoid buoyancy the support tube is flooded.When air is supplied, it is directed via the double nipple and support tube under the membrane. Through the slits of the membrane the air bubbles smoothly into the wastewater.
