Introduction — Why AirOxi Matters for IPRS

Intensive Pond Raceway Systems (IPRS) push aquaculture toward higher stocking densities and stricter water quality control. In such systems, reliable dissolved oxygen (DO) management becomes the single most critical factor for survival, growth, and feed efficiency.

AirOxi tubes are a specialized aeration solution — porous micro-bubble tubing, diffusers, and plug-and-play aeration sets designed for commercial aquaculture. They provide consistent oxygenation, flexible deployment options, and relatively lower energy demand compared to many mechanical aerators.

How AirOxi Works in IPRS

AirOxi tubes release extremely fine bubbles along their length through engineered micro-pores. When installed in IPRS raceways (as floor grids, wall lines, or diffuser manifolds), they create a distributed curtain of bubbles that:

·        Increase oxygen transfer efficiency by maximizing water–air contact time

·        Generate gentle upward water movement to reduce dead zones

·        Allow modular layouts to match raceway geometry and flow rates

·        Because aeration is evenly distributed, operators can avoid localized supersaturation and reduce dependence on high-power paddlewheel or jet aerators in many cases.

·       

Key Benefits for IPRS Operators

1. Stable Dissolved Oxygen

Micro-bubble diffusion maintains uniform DO levels across the raceway, reducing stress and mortality at high stocking densities.

2. Energy Efficiency

When paired with suitable blowers (such as root blowers or multi-stage blowers), AirOxi systems can deliver higher oxygen transfer per watt compared to large paddlewheel aerators operating continuously.

3. Modularity and Retrofit-Friendly

AirOxi tubing can be installed as floating grids, floor lines, or side-mounted runs. This makes upgrading existing raceways simple and cost-effective.

4. Lower Maintenance Options

Certain AirOxi variants are manufactured with algae-resistant formulations to minimize fouling in ponds with heavy biofilm formation.


Practical Installation Tips for IPRS

Match the Blower to the Layout

AirOxi tubes perform best with root blowers for higher pressure requirements, especially on longer pipe runs. Always follow manufacturer recommendations for maximum run length and compatible blower types.

Design Smart Grids

In raceways, install parallel lines spaced evenly to ensure consistent DO coverage. In long, narrow raceways, multiple shorter loops are preferable to one long run, as this reduces pressure drop and ensures uniform bubble output.

Ensure Accessibility

Keep manifolds and inlet valves accessible for inspection and cleaning. Use manifolds or spider bases for compact multi-line connections, especially in corners.

Monitor Continuously

Combine AirOxi with continuous DO monitoring systems and alarm setups. While fine-bubble systems are highly efficient, real-time monitoring is essential in intensive aquaculture operations.


Measurable Outcomes Reported by Operators

IPRS operators using AirOxi commonly report:

·        Reduced mortality during feeding peaks and temperature stress

·        Improved feed conversion ratios (FCR) due to stable oxygen levels

·        Lower peak power consumption compared to running multiple high-horsepower paddle aerators continuously


FAQ

Q: What is AirOxi used for in IPRS?
AirOxi tubes provide distributed micro-bubble aeration in raceway ponds to maintain dissolved oxygen, improve water circulation, and support high stocking densities.

Q: Which blower is recommended for AirOxi tubes?
For longer runs or higher pressure requirements, root blowers are typically recommended. Single-stage ring blowers may be suitable for shorter runs. Always follow manufacturer specifications.

Q: Can AirOxi reduce energy costs?
Many operators report lower energy consumption per unit of oxygen delivered compared to continuously operating large paddlewheel aerators. Actual savings depend on system design and blower efficiency.

Conclusion

If you operate an IPRS or are planning one, consider piloting AirOxi tubes in a single raceway lane. Monitor dissolved oxygen levels, FCR, and power usage for 30 days to evaluate performance.
