Note: SCFM = Standard Cubic Foot of Air per Minute. 1 SCFM of air equals 1.584 Nm3/hr
or approximately 1.7 Sm3/hr.
Calculating air volumes allows confirmation of design and blower selections. For Integrated Diffused
Aeration Systems analysis and optimization, EDI conducts a more rigorous evaluation.
