We support engineers from the first design, contractors with the easiest installation processes, and plant operators over the full life of any aeration project.

That’s our AERATION FOR LIFE^™ promise.

Whether municipal or industrial, dischargers can offload their specialized care and maintenance to EDI, for long-term performance and system reliability.

In order to rely on your aeration system, you want it designed by experts to meet your specific needs. For nearly half a century, EDI has been making customized aeration solutions accessible to all wastewater treatment plants with:

• Diffusers that distribute the air (including FlexAir^® Pro fine-bubble discs, tubes, and panels; FlexAir^® Basic 9-inch solvent-welded discs, CoarsAir™ coarse bubble diffusers, and EDI-exclusive StreamLine™)
• Membranes engineered to regulate bubble size, durability, and compatibility with specific treatment needs (including EPDM, PU, HTPU and EDI-exclusive Matrix™)
• Configurations of aeration platforms designed for optimum efficiency and lowest lifecycle cost  (Fixed-Grid or ModuleAir™ Retrievable Configurations)
• Aftermarket Parts and Services to offer efficient installation and maintenance for all brands (through SiteWorks™ field service teams and Aftermarket Parts parts supply)

EDI is proud to be integrated with Nexom. Combining EDI with Nexom technologies, capabilities, and experience provides unique customer specific solutions. The EDI-Nexom team will guide you to a reliable treatment solution that is easy to maintain and operate.

In most modern treatment systems, aeration is the critical component…

that adds the required air into wastewater so micro-organisms can break down contaminants and pollutants.

It is basically farming bacteria using air to treat wastewater. But it is more than just adding air to a system, to avoid using more energy than required for each situation and to meet or exceed limits, this biological process is optimized by engineering for desired flow, load, capacity, influent type, treatment process type, desired effluent quality, capital investment, operation costs, and energy savings. Add on our long-term maintenance and upgrade support and your wastewater treatment system will be fully cared for by our Aeration for Life promise. EDI has been providing aeration excellence while pioneering and revolutionizing aeration technologies for nearly half a century – since 1975.

Coarse bubble diffuser systems offer low-maintenance mixing.

Where oxygen transfer isn’t your limiting factor, EDI’s full-range of CoarsAir* coarse bubble diffuser platforms provide mechanical reliability, application flexibility, and ease of installation and maintenance.

The primary advantage of this technology is its robust design and ability to mix heavy concentrations of solids. There are no moving parts in the water and the large bubble orifices can be less prone to clogging; making this a robust solution for difficult aeration/mixing applications

Coarse bubble diffusers get their name from the type of bubble they produce, i.e. greater than 4mmØ bubbles. The diffusers are attached to a PVC or stainless steel air supply line fixed to the bottom of the treatment basin or tank. When large bubbles are released at the bottom, water is pulled toward the surface along with the large bubbles mixing the wastewater in the basin or tank.
