ZEPHYR® - How It Works

The ZEPHYR® unit mounted vertically in a tank with the motor above the water and the diffuser disc below. Each unit features diffuser disc that incorporates fine holes near its perimeter for ultra-fine bubble diffusion into the liquid. The motor spins the diffuser disc, creating a low-pressure zone at the disc's diffuser ports, which draws air, or gas, from above the liquid surface. That air, or gas, then proceeds down through the draft tube, into the disc and out of the submerged diffuser ports. Each bubble exits through a hole in the edge of the diffuser disc. The spinning disc shears it into microscopic air bubbles measuring from 10-100 microns in diameter. These air bubbles adhere to minute solids such as oil and grease. The bubbles slowly rise to the surface around the unit, bringing the solids to the surface.
