SSI Design Services

automated cad drafting

SSI provides the industry's most capable aeration system engineering software. Download a demonstration for free!

When you order an aeration system or ask for a quote, we will prepare a 2D drawing in both plan and section view so you can see what the complete aeration system will look like.

Through a simple dialog box, enter your plant details, and it will produce CAD drawings and perform engineering functions such as: line sizing, head loss, heat loss, biological calculations, write a specification, and calculate complete system pricing.

Biological Simulation

SSI has significant experience in process including empirical and lab data on alpha factors, oxygen transfer efficiency and fouling factors. This data can be applied to a variety of processes, such as extended aeration, BNR, SBR, MBR, MBBR as well as conventional activated sludge, in plug flow or complete mix tanks, and with or without channel velocity from flow boosters.

We utilize in-house calculators as well as Biowin™ software to simulate system performance and to tweak our designs prior to presenting them to clients.

Mechanical Calculations

Aeration systems must resist static and dynamic loads. They are often subject to high temperatures of compressed air, and sometimes to seismic forces. SSI has the experience to design aeration systems in almost any environment according to the anticipated conditions at site.

Calculations include heat loss, headloss, buoyancy and ballast, seismic loading, support stand pull out resistance and retrievable frame rigidity.

We utilize Ansys™ software for finite element analysis (FEA) in the design of our diffusers, as well as in the design of some aeration grids.
