Can AIRE-O2® Series II aerators be used for emergency aeration with diesel engines?
No. Emergency aeration is used as a temporary, short term remedy to assist in the aeration of your pond during the most critical, late stages just prior to harvesting. Because most ponds are larger than 1 hectare in size, temporary aeration only provides a short-term solution for only a small pocket of the pond. Emergency aerators simply can not aerate the entire pond in such a short period of time. The best solution is to NOT depend on emergency aeration and provide for a properly installed continuous aeration system from the onset of your production cycle. Studies have proven that the more aeration you install in your pond, the species growth rates, survival, size and harvest will all be uniformly higher. And of course this equates to more money in the aquaculturist’s pockets. Installed pond aeration also ensures that the species in your pond will not face these high-stress, low-oxygen environments where emergency aeration is required. When species are stressed and DO levels low, the
