Fine Bubble Diffusers: The new Tubeflex® Fine Bubble Air Diffuser from Red Valve was developed to overcome the limita­tions of traditional fine bubble diffusers and features breakthrough innovations not found in any other tube or disk diffuser design. At the heart of the Tubeflex® is an integral Tideflex® Check Valve that prevents backflow of sludge and debris into the air diffuser manifold piping. The Tideflex® virtually eliminates clogging and ensures maximum efficiency.

Course Bubble Diffusers: Red Valve’s Tideflex Coarse Bubble Air Diffuser Valves are the ideal choice for coarse bubble air diffuser systems. The patented “duckbill” check valve design eliminates clogging of air manifolds, saving end users thousands of dollars in maintenance and repair costs. The all-elastomer construction is flexible and non-fouling; making them suited for long-term, maintenance free service.

Aeration Systems (Combined course and fine bubble): Red Valve has developed a patented process for enhancing mixing and optimizing the oxygen transfer methods within biological processes. Until now, there has been only two options for diffused aeration systems; a complete fine bubble system or a complete coarse bubble system. Both systems have significant advantages over the other as well as disadvantages. By combining the two mechanisms within the same process the advantages of each can be applied. The most important component of the system is the Tideflex® Coarse Bubble diffuser and it’s ability to provide complete mixing from the water surface to the tank floor. Combined with the Tideflex® Fine Bubble diffuser the system provides complete backflow elimination which allows for complete flexibility in operation without downtimes associated to clogged diffusers or manifolds.

Tank Mixing Systems: The Tideflex Mixing System was designed to eliminate the source of most water quality problems in a storage tank: the common inlet/outlet. Typically, reservoirs are designed to provide the hydraulics of the system with no concern over maintaining water quality. The common inlet/outlet pipe is usually sized for throughput capacity at minimum headloss, which results in a very low discharge velocity into the tank during filling. This low velocity results in poor mixing within the tank, leading to stagnation. The freshest water added to the tank is the first to be drawn off again. This "short-circuiting" also leads to thermal stratification within deep tanks such as standpipes, where fresh, cold water stays near the base of the tank and older, warmer water stagnates near the top. The Tideflex Mixing System was designed to eliminate these problems, while being cost-effective and easy to install or retrofit.

Tank Level Sensors: The Red Valve Tank Level Sensor uses a high sensitivity, solid state, pressure transmitter that is completely isolated from the process fluid by an elastomer sleeve that transmits pressure through a fluid fill. It is not effected by foaming, ice and other conditions that can cause errors in Ultrasonic and capacitance Level Sensors.
