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.
