HINKTON Disk-X Series – Technical Manual
Microporous aeration discs play a key role in biological wastewater treatment systems such as the activated sludge process. Their main function is to deliver air into the water through finely perforated membranes, which helps raise dissolved oxygen (DO) levels and supports microbial activity.
Key Benefits:
Efficient Oxygen Transfer
Fine bubbles (less than 2mm in diameter) offer a large gas–liquid interface, which significantly boosts oxygen transfer efficiency. In actual use, transfer rates typically exceed 30%.
Mixing Effect
The rising bubbles also create vertical circulation, helping to keep suspended solids in motion and preventing sludge from settling at the bottom.
| Material Type | Key Features | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|
| EPDM / Silicone | Corrosion- and aging-resistant, low plasticizer leaching | Municipal and industrial wastewater systems |
| PVC / PP | Cost-effective, good chemical stability | General wastewater applications |
| PTFE / PU Membranes | High temperature resistance (>100°C), excellent chemical durability | Petrochemical, chemical, high-corrosion industries |
| Ceramic / Titanium | High mechanical strength, lifespan up to 10 years | Harsh conditions, ozone aeration systems |
All membranes are designed with self-sealing microperforations to reduce clogging and simplify maintenance.
