Sizing tools for the Aire-O2® Aspirator Aerator
Simple ‘guidelines’ and tools to assist with your application
 
  • Graph #1: SHRIMP SIZING

  • Graph #2: FIN FISH SIZING

  • Graph #3: Recommended Minimum Angle of Entry for Series II aerators - Freshwater

  • Graph #4: Recommended Minimum Angle of Entry for Series II aerators - Saltwater

    		•
    Graph #1: SHRIMP SIZING - Approximate Hp / Hct. necessary for semi-intensive shrimp farming applications. This chart is only a tool to assist in budgetary sizing, for concise technical recommendations please contact the factory for assistance (INQUIRY TO AIII).
