Radial Diffusers

Advantages and Types.

Advantages

  • High ejection energy resulting in a good mixing/turbulence without dead zone

  • Homogeneous distribution of small bubbles to increase the exchange surface gas/liquid and then the transfer efficiency

  • High operation flexibility: from 0 to 100% gas flow, constant motive water flow

  • Compact system, reduced footprint

  • Several arrangements: vertical, horizontal, in pipe

  • Easy operation

  • No risk of clogging

  • Minimum maintenance

  • Long lifetime

The system includes 3 elements:

  • a venturi injector or mixing tube

  • a motive water pump

  • a radial diffuser (including a mounting ring for installation)

  • Motive water flowrate

  • Injector discharge pressure (outlet)

  • Gas composition and temperature

  • Motive pressure determined by the injector supplier

What about the mixing tube?

  • Mixing tube is a pipe with several small holes to bring ozone in motive water

  • Used to replace venturi injector (lower cost)

  • Pressure difference between inlet and outlet mixing tube should be ≥ 0.2 bar

  • That way, the gas is going in the motive water flow.
