Retro-X®‘self-cleaning’control system
The self-cleaning control system is a standard PLC-based program and component package integrated into the Retro-XUnbeatable Aeration System.
The Retro-Xsystem utilizes PLC programming to control electric valves on distribution manifolds. Through periodic valve actuation, it modulates or shuts off airflow to specific manifold zones. By leveraging pressure differentials and valve switching mechanisms, the system creates airflow pulses that scour the surface of the aeration hoses, removing biofilm, sludge, or particulate buildup. This automated self-cleaning process ensures:
● No clogging or fouling on the hose surface.
● Consistent oxygen transfer efficiency (SOTE) and stable headloss over time.
As the core aeration system technology of HINKTON, Retro-Xprovides a more stable, efficient, and easy-to-maintain aeration solution for global wastewater treatment projects. It is widely applied in:
● New construction of biochemical systems
● Upgrades and renovations of existing facilities
● Energy-saving retrofits
● Aeration system replacements
This technology delivers reliable performance while optimizing energy efficiency and simplifying maintenance, making it a leader in advanced aeration system innovation.

Main Design Features

The innovation design of membrane only (no supporting pipe) provides extremely low head loss.
End to end air pathways ensure uniform air distribution.
Ultra fine bubbles generation. With a bubble average size of 1 mm, the bubbles rise slowly, which increases the contact area and contact time with the sewage. It turns out higher oxygen transfer efficiency which reduced air demand, and correspondingly the energy bill.
With unique product design and product accessories, HINKTON Retro-X®fine bubble diffuser revolutionizes the aeration system pipelines and retrievable installation way.
Main Design Features

Main Advantage

Upgrated Efficiency
   The oxygen transfer efficiency is as high as 45% in sewage at a depth of 6 meters. The bubble rising velocity is less than 0.4m/s, much lower than the conventional 1m/s. Bubbles stays in the water for a long time. It greatly increases oxygen transfer efficiency.
‘self - cleaning’  function
   Regular 'self - cleaning' is carried out to ensure the efficiency of the aeration system remains stable. 
Low Head Loss
   The innovation design of membrane only (no supporting pipe) provides extremely low head loss.
Easy Routine Inspections or Aeration Diffuser Replacement
   A team of two people can complete the replacement of a set of aeration system in 15 minutes. There is no need to drain water, nor use a crane or any lifting tools.
Low-cost for renovation.
  For the entire aeration system, only the membrane needs to be replaced, while other pipes and accessories can be recycled.
Low Service Life
   More than 10 years service life with special membrane material.

Retrievable Installation

With unique product design and product accessories, HINKTION Retro-X® revolutionizes the aeration system pipelines and retrievable installation way. When replacing the aeration tube, it only needs to untie the tension rope and the quick-installation joint on the air pipe. The aeration pipe can be pulled out from the bottom of the tank along the stabilizing device, and after replacement, it can be pulled back to its original position along the rope. It only takes about 15 minutes to complete. The innovation retrievable installation way enables the inspection and maintenance of aeration pipe with the whole system operate continuously.
