What sort of life span is typical for EPDM tube type membrane diffusers in municipal wastewater treatment plant applications?

EPDM Membrane Diffuser Life?

RE: EPDM Membrane Diffuser Life?
I have had experience with a couple of different types. There are lots of variables. One of the things that has a big bearing i believe is the number of cycles the diffusers do where they go from no air flow to full airflow such as what they might in an SBR.
I have seen lots of failures sometimes in only a few months. I would think anything over two years between change outs would be pretty lucky in an SBR type application. Where there was always a fairly constant airflow such as in a conventional aeration tank with modest airflow per diffuser flow rates you would probably do a bit better.
