Enhanced water quality for aquaculture via surface engineered diffusers
Lead Participant:
PERLEMAX LIMITED
Abstract
This project seeks to address water quality issues in the waste water and aquaculture industry (i.e. fish and
shell fish farming) by the application of a novel aeration technology originally developed for the hydrogen fuel
cell industry. The technology consists of devices for the rapid generation, mixing and beak down of
microbubbles in water. Specifically, the project will demonstrate the duel feasibility of oxygenation and
ammonia removal from water by hot air stripping. Both these processes are much needed by the lucrative
and rapidly expanding global aquaculture industry in order to improve process water quality and thus, the
health, quality and value of contained fish and shell fish stocks.
