Different types of aerators in aquaculture

 

A pond aerator is an effective device to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in aquaculture ponds. The aerator must operate deep in the pond to improve the soil quality at the bottom of the pond and avoid the production of toxic gases in the subsoil to effectively prevent the problems of tilapia and shrimp. Possibility of death from disease. The aerator is a device that quickly transfers "oxygen" from the air to the breeding water body. It can solve the problem of floating heads of breeding animals due to lack of oxygen in pond breeding, eliminate harmful gases, promote convective exchange in the water body, and improve water quality conditions. , reduce the feed coefficient FCR Feed conversion ratio, improve aquaculture productivity, thereby increasing the stocking density, increasing the feeding intensity of fish and shrimp, promoting growth, greatly increasing the unit output, and fully achieving the purpose of increasing the income of fish farming and shrimp farming.

 

There are many types of aerators, including impeller aerators, paddlewheel aerators, floating fountains, Oxygen Generator, and jet aerators, etc.

3.2. It is not suitable for first aid when aquaculture animals float.

 

  1. impeller aerator impeller aerator

Principle: The impeller sucks up the oxygen-deficient water at the bottom of the pond, and then pushes it out in all directions to make the water flow. The water under the impeller is strongly stirred by the blades and tubes, stirring up waves on the surface of the water, forming a water curtain that can be wrapped into the air. As the impeller is rotating, negative pressure is formed at the back of the stirring pipe so that the air can be sucked into the water through the stirring pipe, and it is immediately stirred into micro-bubbles to enter the pressure area of the impeller, so it is also helpful to improve the dissolution speed of oxygen in the air and improve the efficiency of oxygenation.

Advantages:

  1. 1. Lifting and stirring. Impeller oxygenator can lift the bottom water, so that it alternates with the surface water, so as to play to the bottom water oxygenation effect, its pond oxygenation depth of more than 2 meters;

4.2 the mechanical structure is relatively simple, in the use of the process of mechanical failure rarely occurs, maintenance is more convenient, reducing maintenance costs;

4.3 in the process of use can form the upper and middle water flow so that the upper and middle water body dissolved oxygen uniformly, suitable for pond breeding and pond first aid equipment;

4.4 aeration in addition to harmful gases. Impeller aerator has a strong aeration function, harmful gases in the pond water such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, methane, carbon monoxide, etc. can be effectively aeration.

Disadvantages:

4.1 it must be in smooth conditions of electricity can be used, in remote mountainous areas of lack electricity, and set up wires, the cost is higher;

4.2 the oxygenator generally must be fixed at a point in the pond, change the location of the more troublesome, and the oxygenation area is limited to a certain range, for larger ponds on the bottom of the water body the oxygenation effect is poor;

4.3the aerator's float is exposed to the air all year round, after sunlight exposure, it easily corrodes and damaged, and needs to be replaced frequently;

4.4 belongs to a single point of oxygenation, and mechanical operation noise, easily affects the growth of aquatic animals and injury to aquatic animals;

4.5 the impeller oxygenator is easily to the bottom of the pond mud pumped up, not suitable for use in shallow ponds.

 

 

  1. microporous aeration oxygenator and blower

Principle: the use of a roots blower air blower air suspension blower or oxygen concentrator, most people use roots blower air into the gas pipeline, the gas pipeline will be sent to the air into the microporous tube, and the microporous tube will be dispersed into the water in the form of micro-bubbles air micro Bubbles float upward from the bottom of the pool, bubbles in the gas under the action of high partial pressure of oxygen, oxygen is fully dissolved into the water, but also cause the rotation of the water flow and up and down flow, the up and down flow of the water flow will be the upper layer of oxygen-rich water into the bottom, at the same time the rotation of the water flow will be the microporous tube around the oxygen-rich water outward diffusion, to achieve the uniformity of the pool water to increase the oxygenation.
