Abstract

A microporous diffuser (50) includes a first elongated member (56) including at least one sidewall (56a) having a plurality of microscopic openings. The sidewall (56a) defines an interior hollow portion of the member. The diffuser has a second elongated member (60) having a second sidewall (60a) having a plurality of microscopic openings, the second member (60) being disposed through the hollow region of the first member (56). The diffuser (50) includes an end cap (54) to seal a first end of the microporous diffuser (50) and an inlet cap (52) disposed at a second end of microporous diffuser for receiving inlet fittings (52a, 52b).
