ABS - Nopon Disc Diffuser System
The reliable ABS Nopon disk diffuser system is one of the world’s most widely-installed fine-bubble aeration systems, available in five alternative diffuser models. Preassembled diffuser elements enable fast and easy installation. Retrofits are available to increase aeration efficiency.
The ABS Nopon disk diffuser system builds up piping, pipe connectors, and diffusers. Mechanical connectors as well as factory preassembled elements enable fast and easy installation and maintenance. Five alternative diffuser models are available, either with a rubber membrane or a porous polymer disk.
Diffusers with rubber membrane disks: PIK300 fine-bubble
- Polypropylene main body and an antifriction ring to protect the membrane
- Suitable for both continuous and non-continuous aeration processes
PRK300 fine-bubble
- Strong main body, making it suitable for SBR, MBR, and MBBR processes
- Antifriction ring protects the membrane
- PRF300 retrofit for upgrading 215 mm diffusers to more efficient systems
KKI215 fine-bubble
- Suitable for both continuous and non-continuous aeration processes
- Special support for use in deep basin applications, in water up to 15 m deep
HKL215 fine-bubble·
- Double high-density polyethylene disk to reduce diffuser pressure drop
- Thin upper surface layer of fine material for forming small bubbles
- Lower support layer for mechanical strength
- Suitable for continuous aeration applications and especially for aggressive types of wastewater
MKL215 medium-bubble
- Single high-density polyethylene disk
- Suitable for continuous aeration applications
- Ideal for aeration in processes where solid concentrations are high, such as sludge aeration and pre-aeration
The HKL215, KKI215, and PRK/PRF300 diffusers are interchangeable for retrofits, offering high flexibility. All diffusers have a built-in non-return valve which provides additional safety to the treatment process by preventing sludge infiltration into the aeration piping system when the air flow is interrupted.
