Abstract

The dual diffuser assembly of the present invention includes a first and second diffuser body in fluid communication with an air distribution pipe. The diffuser assembly further includes a saddle that connects the first diffuser body and the second diffuser body to the air distribution pipe. The air received from the distribution pipe passes into the first and second diffuser bodies and exits the first diffuser body through a first diffuser and exits the second diffuser body through a second diffuser. The first and second diffusers form the air into fine bubbles that serve to facilitate aeration of the medium.
