This would not be possible without advances in water treatment, including oxygenation. Maintaining high dissolved oxygen (DO) levels – at or above saturation – allows for increased animal loading, better food conversion ratios and decreased animal mortality. While aeration is a common method of providing oxygen, technologies that produce bubbles are not ideal for aquaculture applications. Fuel Tech’s Dissolved Gas Infusion (DGI) technology is engineered to react to oxygen demand levels and deliver the precise amount required to maintain optimal growth, without producing bubbles.
AQUACULTURE
Maintaining stable levels of oxygen for optimal growth
Aquaculture, which includes fish and shrimp farms, has made significant strides in improving sustainability while simultaneously increasing food production.
DGI® Dissolved Gas Infusion
DGI combines best-on-the-market oxygen transfer efficiency with precision accuracy, to deliver an energy-efficient and cost-effective solution for use in water and wastewater treatment systems. This cutting-edge technology achieves rates of 99+% gas transfer by pre-dissolving high purity gas in a separate pressurized slipstream using a plunging jet saturator. The slipstream can reach up to 900mg/l oxygen concentration; it is then added to the main volume of water and diluted to meet precise specifications.
Benefits:
- Effective, flexible and environmentally friendly
- DGI combines a patented infusion vessel and patent-pending injector array to ensure effective dissolved oxygen (DO) delivery
- Highest oxygen transfer efficiency available on the market
