Aero-Tube Aeration Tubing for Aquaculture
(UNITED STATES, 1/4/2011)
Colorite Plastics, the world’s leading manufacturer of garden hose and aeration tubing has introduced Aero-Tube (TM) aeration tubing, the next major advance in water aeration.
Aero-Tube aeration tubing has been used successfully with a wide range of Aquaculture species and production systems.

Whether you are producing shrimp or fish, anywhere you are using traditional aeration systems to oxygenate your water, you can benefit from the efficiency and durability of an Aero-Tube system. Aero-Tube technology has numerous applications including grow out ponds, raceways, recirculating systems, hatcheries, cage culture and live-haul trucks.
The benefits of Aero-Tube technology include a major reduction in energy costs, significantly higher oxygen transfer rates per hour, higher dissolved oxygen (DO) levels, and an improved bottom line.

Aero-Tube achieves its high energy efficiency in two ways:
- Due to the number of pores created during the manufacturing process, there is little resistance created when pushing air through the tubing. Resistance equals energy demand. By working with Aero-Tube, you can use significantly less horsepower when compared with traditional methods of aeration (paddlewheels, aspirators, less efficient tubing).
- Aero-Tube’s tiny pore size creates extremely small diameter bubbles. The smaller a bubble of air the more efficiently it transfers oxygen into water (more surface area). Small bubbles also take longer to rise once they are introduced into water. Slower rising, small-diameter bubbles mean more contact with the water and a much higher rate of oxygen transfer.
By creating significantly smaller bubbles, more efficiently, Aero-Tube products are able to deliver high rates of oxygen transfer and energy efficiency.

Aero-Tube aeration tubing is a more affordable and durable aeration tube and one of the most efficient products on the market. Aero-Tube products are designed, manufactured and patented specifically for oxygen transfer and aeration efficiency. Aero-Tube continuous bubble aeration tubing delivers oxygen in volumes that are unmatched by other systems, and at an energy cost that is often less than half than that of conventional systems.
