Featured product: fEPDM membranes for aeration
------------------------------------------------------

SSI has developed a series of fEPDM membranes for use in wastewater 
aeration.  These membranes take the flexibility of standard EPDM rubber 
and add even better fouling resistance and greater durability.  In some 
recent testing, fEPDM was shown to retain 30% more of its plasticizer 
content than standard EPDM after extremely aggressive testing -- far 
more abuse than the same diffusers will likely ever encounter in any 
practical application.  That means a longer service life and better 
performance over the long term.

The significance of the recent advancements made by SSI in aeration 
design would be hard to overstate -- they've been awarded a patent for 
the major improvements in diffuser durability created by their special 
treatment processes.
