In the process of wastewater treatment, aeration is a crucial link, which provides the necessary oxygen for microorganisms to decompose organic matter. Among many aeration systems, aeration discs have become the core components of modern wastewater treatment plants due to their high efficiency, significantly improving the efficiency of biological treatment processes.
This article will deeply analyze the role of aeration discs in wastewater treatment, their impact on oxygen mass transfer efficiency, and focus on the outstanding advantages of Aquasust brand Disc Diffuser.

Disc diffuser for wastewater treatment, including its core function in wastewater treatment
Disc Diffuser is the core component of the diffuse aeration system, which injects air into wastewater by releasing tiny bubbles to promote aerobic digestion. In an aerobic system, microorganisms need oxygen to decompose organic pollutants. This process plays a decisive role in reducing the concentration of water pollutants and improving the quality of effluent.
Oxygen transfer efficiency and biological treatment optimization
One of the key indicators of wastewater treatment efficiency is oxygen transfer efficiency (OTE). The Aquasust Disc Diffuser can achieve higher oxygen delivery with lower energy consumption, which not only optimizes the biological treatment process but also significantly reduces operating costs.


An ideal aeration system must ensure that oxygen is delivered at an optimal rate and maximize the activation of microbial activity. The Aquasust Disc Diffuser uses innovative design and special materials to provide stable and efficient oxygen support for aerobic processes such as nitrification in wastewater treatment.
