Aeration Hose & Diffuser

Aeration hoses and diffusers are designed to disperse fine air bubbles throughout the water. This process help to enhance the dissolved oxygen levels for the survival and growth of aquatic organisms such as fish, shrimp, and shellfish. Aeration hoses and diffusers uasually work in tandem with blowers. Different materials, installation, maintenance service life and purchase cost are the consideration factors when selecting aeration hose and diffuser.


Types of Aeration Hose & Diffuser

Aeration Hose
Aeration hoses are extensively employed in multiple fields, including aquaculture and water treatment. These hoses disperse air into water to transfer oxygen. When used in conjunction with blowers, aeration hoses contribute to efficient oxygenation and enhance water quality.
Air Diffuser Disc
A diffuser disc is a component of aeration systems. Typically, it is linked to blowers and serves to disperse oxygen-rich air into water, thereby significantly enhancing the oxygenation process. It has widespread applications in areas such as aquaculture, where it supports the health of aquatic organisms by ensuring adequate oxygen levels in the water; in wastewater treatment, where it aids in the biological processes that break down pollutants; and in pond aeration, which helps maintain a balanced ecosystem in ponds.

Key Characteristics to Consider When Selecting Air Diffusers

  • Pore Size: Influences bubble size and thus oxygen transfer efficiency. Finer bubbles generally have higher transfer rates but are more prone to clogging.

  • Material of Construction: Affects durability, chemical resistance, and resistance to fouling (biofilm, mineral buildup).

  • Oxygen Transfer Efficiency (OTE): The percentage of oxygen released that dissolves into the water.

  • Airflow Rate Capacity: The volume of air the diffuser can effectively handle.

  • Pressure Loss: The backpressure the diffuser creates on the air blower.

  • Clog Resistance and Ease of Cleaning/Maintenance.

  • Uniformity of Air Distribution.

  • Cost and Lifespan.

Installation and Placement of Hoses and Diffusers

  • Layout Design for Uniform Oxygen Distribution: Grid patterns, linear arrangements, etc.

  • Securing Diffusers to the Pond Bottom: Using weights or anchoring systems.

  • Proper Connection of Hoses to the Blower and Diffusers.

  • Avoiding Kinks and Damage to Hoses During Installation.
