Aeration and oxygenation machine Its design is simple and lightweight, with the significant advantage of energy efficiency. The oxygenation principle differs from that of impeller-type and water-wheel-type aerators. Featuring a unique flower-shaped spiral impeller paired with a distinctive float design, this aerator directs the discharged water upward in a vigorous spray, creating a boiling effect and generating surging waves within a certain area. This enhanced water-air contact during the spraying process significantly boosts the dissolved oxygen levels in the water. As the water jets upward, it directly passes through the motor and gearbox, allowing both components to be cooled by the water itself. As a result, the motor can operate for extended periods without overheating, eliminating the common problem of motor overheating due to prolonged operation, which typically leads to increased current draw and eventual motor burnout. Moreover, this aerator can operate normally even under ultra-low voltages ranging from 300V to 350V.
The aeration oxygenator can oxygenate both the upper and lower water layers, offering three-dimensional, highly efficient aeration. Micro-pore aeration directly releases air from the bottom of the water body, significantly increasing the dissolved oxygen levels in both the bottom and middle layers. As the bubbles rise during the floating process, they carry the bottom-layer water upward, facilitating the exchange between the upper and lower water layers and ensuring uniform oxygenation throughout the entire pond. Because the bubbles released from the micro-pores are extremely small, they have a large contact area with the water, resulting in enhanced dissolution capacity and thus achieving high oxygenation rates and efficiency. The aeration oxygenator helps improve the aquatic ecological environment and prevent water quality deterioration. Studies have shown that in waters aerated by micro-pore aeration, the concentration of ammonia nitrogen is lower than in waters aerated by impeller or paddle-wheel types. Whether using paddle-wheel or impeller aerators, the oxygenation effect at the bottom of the water body tends to be relatively poor—especially when the water depth exceeds two meters, where the bottom water is prone to deterioration due to oxygen deficiency. Micro-pore aeration can effectively address this shortcoming. By compressing and releasing tiny air bubbles from the bottom of the water body, it directly increases the dissolved oxygen levels in the bottom layer. Moreover, it can also bring bottom-layer sewage into the upper layers, which have higher dissolved oxygen levels. Through bacterial nitrification, the ammonia nitrogen is then converted into harmless nitrate, which can be utilized by algae, thereby reducing the overall ammonia nitrogen content.
Aeration oxygenators have low energy consumption per unit area, thereby reducing aquaculture costs. Compared with paddle-wheel, impeller, and spray-type aerators, micro-pore aeration systems—when operating at the same power level and covering the same water surface area—achieve rapid oxygenation and deliver outstanding oxygenation performance. This is highly advantageous. In terms of power requirements, micro-pore aerators need only 0.1 to 0.3 kilowatts per mu, representing just 30% to 40% of the power consumed by conventional aerators, significantly cutting down on energy usage. Moreover, the kinetic efficiency of pore oxidation is enhanced. These aerators also feature low noise levels and high safety performance. Traditional aeration equipment, which is directly installed in the water, generates considerable noise during operation, causing some disturbance to fish and shrimp. Additionally, there’s a risk of water leakage and electrical leakage from motors and cables, posing potential hazards to aquatic organisms and making maintenance cumbersome. By contrast, micro-pore aeration systems have their power units installed onshore; only an air hose and micro-pore diffuser plates remain submerged. As a result, there’s no risk of water ingress into motor cables, making maintenance easier and ensuring quieter operation. The equipment has minimal impact on aquatic animals, particularly alleviating stress responses in shrimp and crab farming.
