Combination of Surface and Diffused Aerators in Term of Oxygen Transfer Efficiency and Energy Performance
Narapong Hongprasith
Abstract:Paddle wheels are widely used in aquaculture pond in Thailand due to convenient installation and operation, with an ability to supply oxygen together with making water circulation as their advantage. But the low oxygen transfer efficiency (OTE) and energy performance (Aeration efficiency, AE) should be considered as the main drawback of this aerator type, because they can make a contacting area between air (oxygen) and water at the water surface only. While diffused aerators present a high OTE and AE. However,… Show more
