Aeration system that is a reliable method for your aquaculture aeration
needs
How are AirOxi
tubes are better than cheaper rubber tubes and International aeration tubes.
- Rigorous quality testing of every coil of
AirOxi aeration tube – you can watch our testing videos on our YouTube
channel or contact us for more information
- Continuous feedback from our customers and
farmers on the product quality and the various suggestions they have for
improvement
- Research on latest materials and technologies
available to develop new products for the diffused aeration industry
Based on such feedback we have
continuously developed new products for Aeration. For instance we have specialized
aeration tubes and aeration system for Biofloc culture
Biofloc aeration is very different from aeration in growout ponds
- Aeration required is intense because the BOD
(Biological Oxygen Demand) is substantially higher due to probiotics and phytoplankton
that feed on the sludge – to ensure the carbon-nitrogen cycle is balanced.
The dissolved oxygen required is hence quite high as compared to grow out
ponds.
- Aeration needed in biofloc culture (BFT) is
almost 50% more than what is needed in regular earthen bottom ponds
- Usually, Biolfoc aquaculture is done in tanks
or small-sized ponds, often indoors or covered in shade, in order to
manage them better. This results in a smaller surface area of the water
exposed to the atmosphere and hence the natural dissolution of oxygen is
less.
- Moreover sunlight and hence algae giving
natural oxygen is also very less, so artificial aeration needs to be much
more than in grow out ponds. And the traditional methods of paddlewheel
aerator or such surface aerators cannot be used in tanks
- The floc needs to be constantly moved and the
water movement needed is high. So the diffused aeration needs to also
agitate the water. Hence the diffused aeration system cannot be very fine
as done in hatcheries, otherwise, it may give good dissolved oxygen but
still, the performance may not be suitable for BFT
To help provide the most efficient aeration, AirOxi has developed and
launched 3 special aeration tubes :
AirOxi NC – 16 mm
AirOxi – NC 16 mm aeration tube is made by
creating precise holes at equal distances in a thin-walled tube. The bubbles
are about 50% bigger than the high-quality AirOxi tubes, but these bubbles
quickly break down in the sludge and floc in the water. As a result, the
overall Dissolved Oxygen is still good, and the large bubbles give the water a
high movement.
Due to the good water movement, and the big bubble size that breaks down
with floc and sludge, it is ideal for Biofloc and mud bottom ponds
AirOxi – NC 16 mm is
- Lightweight
- High airflow – 2 m3/hour or 30 LPM per meter
- Large bubble size that breaks down in the
presence of sludge and floc
- Low cost – can be treated as a one-season
product
- Low wall thickness making it easy to clean IF
at all it gets blocked
- Moderate SOTR – oxygen dissolving capacity is
about 20% less than AirOxi aeration tube
- Very good water movement provided by the
bubbles
- Works at very low pressure and can be used
with root blower, ring blower or even air pumps
AirOxi Star
The proprietary registered / patented design of AirOxi tube star especially
made for aquaculture provides three major advantageous highlights:
- Aeration with minimum cleaning and blocking
- High movement of water
- Reduced back pressure on the blower motor
The tube has crests and troughs along the length – it’s unique design
makes sure that very fine bubbles are released from the troughs and not from
the crests.
This special design offers air at greater speed from the trough in the
decreased thickness area. This ensures no air flows out from the greater
thickness location of the crest. Because of this special design, air float
comes out at a higher pace and as a result, offers the required motion of water
in BFT aquaculture offering better aeration. This additionally affects the
decreased choking and blockading of the aeration tube, as a consequence
lowering the frequency of cleaning and also offers superior aquaculture
aeration.
And since the air is released in a smaller surface area, it comes out
with pressure and provides the movement needed in biofloc tank.
AirOxi XTRA
AirOxi Xtra is a
specialized rough finished tube with a large bubble size and 25 mm outside
diameter.
It is becoming the product of choice for many biofloc consultants who
see the benefit of good water movement and moderate aeration. AirOxi Xtra has a
large bubble size which reduces oxygen dissolution by about 20% as compared to
the other high-efficiency AirOxi Aeration tubes.
However, the water in biofloc farms has a very high number of suspended
particles – sludge, waste, probiotics, etc. As a result, although the bubbles
are bigger at the exit from the tube, they breakdown almost instantly and
provide good SOTR and oxygen dissolution. Air flows out in bigger bubbles
allowing greater movement. The flow of air is 30 LPM / 2m3 per hour per meter
which is even though the same as the regular aeration tube but with a bigger
micro bubble size, so the holes don’t get blocked soon and maintenance required
is less.
Since the tube blocks very little and has high positive pressure, the
maintenance is low. Hence with greater functionality it is one of the most
preferred choices among the fish farmers.
Overview of our Quality
Every roll of AirOxi tube goes through 8 rigorous quality checks of
dimensions, flow rate, and material properties
Let’s take you through the various challenges that our product has to
meet before it reaches you:
- Our AirOxi tube products are ISO 9001:2015
certified, which ensures meeting all the international quality standard
tests that product certification requires.
- All AirOxi tubes are RoHS certified – They do
not contain any Hazardous material as defined by the RoHS standard
- We ensure fittings and accessories are available
for all models and sizes
- Every roll is tested for the flow rate of a
minimum of 50 LPM / 2 m3/hr at a depth of 1 mtr in our test tanks
- We regularly install various batches of tubes
in our test tanks and check which formulations of raw materials work best
These quality testing and maintenance processes provide us an
opportunity to bring our customer’s AirOxi tubes, which are unparalleled in
quality metrics and perform far better than those of the Chinese knock-offs
that are available at a similar or little cheaper price.
That is why we always suggest please check the AirOxi QR code mark
before buying tubes for your aquaculture or hydroponics requirements. To save a
few rupees, customers often end up spending thousands of rupees in replacing
the tubes, again and again, so thoroughly ensure you get the value of your
money’s worth from the product you purchase.
