Gas Transfer

Oxygenation

High-efficiency oxygen cones, diffusers, and injection systems for commercial stocking densities.

What Problem It Solves

Insufficient dissolved oxygen is the most immediate risk in intensive RAS, leading to stress, reduced feed conversion, and mortality.

Position in a RAS Flow

Typically after degassing and before final disinfection and return line to tanks.

How It Works

Pure oxygen or enriched air is injected and contacted with process water via cones, U-tubes, or low-head diffusers to achieve target DO levels before return to culture tanks.

Key Design Considerations

  • Calculate O2 demand from biomass and temperature
  • Plan backup oxygen supply and alarms
  • Avoid supersaturation in sensitive hatchery loops
  • Integrate DO probes with automated controls

Common Mistakes

  • Sizing only for average biomass, not harvest peak
  • No redundant O2 source for commercial farms
  • Poor probe placement giving false readings

TurnkeyRAS Integration Advantage

Oxygen systems are designed with full loop hydraulics, biofilter oxygen demand, and emergency response logic.

Hot Climate RAS Project Story

Challenge

A commercial aquaculture project in the Middle East faced extreme ambient heat, high evaporation rates, and limited freshwater availability. Traditional flow-through or pond systems could not meet biosecurity and water efficiency targets.

Solution

TurnkeyRAS delivered a chilled RAS concept with optimized insulation strategy, evaporation recovery planning, redundant oxygenation, and climate-specific automation alarms. Mechanical filtration and biofiltration were sized for peak summer loading.

FAQ

Sizing depends on feed loading, biomass, species tolerance, and hydraulic flow rate. We match module capacity to your process design.
