Responsibility
Aerators, especially paddlewheels, are often used to mix the water and address oxygen stratification in ponds. However, most aerators do not provide the most efficient and power-conscious service. Due to thermal and oxygen stratification in ponds, the efficiency of paddlewheel aerators is low, and other present-day aerators have other problems. Emerging designs should better address effective mixing and aerating of pond water.
Responsibility
Aerator designs and mixing are key components of biofloc production systems. Diffuser aerators work primarily in smaller systems by moving deeper waters to the surface and creating constant mixing.
