- Material Compatibility: In saltwater environments, corrosion is a significant concern. Disc aeration diffusers made from materials resistant to corrosion, such as certain grades of stainless steel, titanium, or specially coated materials, should be chosen to withstand the corrosive effects of saltwater.

- Maintenance and Cleaning: Saltwater can lead to quicker fouling and potential clogging of the diffuser membranes. Regular maintenance and cleaning are crucial to prevent the accumulation of salts and marine growth on the diffusers, which can reduce efficiency.

- Material Selection: High temperatures can affect the physical properties of the diffuser materials. It's important to select diffusers made from materials that can withstand the higher temperatures without degrading. Silicone and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber are commonly used materials for diffuser membranes that have good high-temperature resistance.

- Operational Efficiency: The solubility of oxygen decreases as water temperature increases. Therefore, aeration systems in high-temperature environments may need to be more robust or larger in size to meet the oxygenation needs effectively.

- Thermal Expansion: Consider the thermal expansion of materials. High temperatures can cause materials to expand, potentially affecting the integrity and tightness of the diffuser system. Ensure that the system is designed to accommodate such expansions without damage.

- Design and Engineering: For both saltwater and high-temperature applications, it's critical to work with us who have experience in designing aeration systems for these specific conditions. They can provide valuable insights into the best materials, designs, and maintenance practices.

- Efficiency Adjustments: Both scenarios may require adjustments in the aeration strategy, including the spacing of diffusers, the depth of installation, and the overall aeration rate, to compensate for the reduced oxygen solubility and potential impacts on diffuser performance.
