Aeration in fish farming

Venturi aeration is an effective method for increasing dissolved oxygen levels in fish farming. This system uses a Venturi tube, which propels water at high speed through a small nozzle, creating a low-pressure area that draws air in through a side inlet. This air mixes with the water and enters the fish farming environment as fine bubbles. The fine bubbles have a larger surface area in contact with the water, helping to increase the dissolved oxygen levels. This method is efficient because it does not require complex or expensive equipment and helps improve water quality and fish health.
 

The aerator chosen for fish farming should have the following benefits:

  • Increased oxygenation efficiency
  • Energy savings
  • Easy maintenance
  • Durability and strength
  • Quiet operation
  • Flexibility
  • Even distribution of oxygen
  • Easy installation and setup
  • Versatility
  • Environmentally friendly

How does the venturi effect work?

The Venturi effect operates based on the principles of fluid dynamics. When a fluid flows through a pipe and encounters a constriction or narrowing, the flow speed increases at the point of constriction due to the reduced cross-sectional area of the pipe. This change in cross-section leads to an increase in flow speed. However, according to the principle of continuity, the mass flow rate of the fluid must remain constant as it moves from one section to another within a system. Therefore, to maintain this constant flow rate, the fluid molecules must pass through the constricted area at a higher speed.

As a result, this increased flow speed at the constriction point creates a momentary low-pressure area, while the pressure in other parts of the pipe remains higher. This pressure difference causes the fluid to move from other areas of the pipe towards the constriction point.

In various applications, such as connecting fluid pipes, this principle is effectively utilized to draw liquids towards areas of lower pressure. Ultimately, the vacuum created by the fast-moving fluid results in the discharge of liquid through other pipes.
