EEfficient Surface Aeration for Aquaculture Ponds
The Fordy Surge Wave Aeration Aerator 2HP is a high-efficiency surface aerator designed for intensive aquaculture ponds, fish farms and shrimp farms. Its unique surge-wave water flow creates strong water movement while increasing contact between water and air, helping improve dissolved oxygen levels throughout the pond.
With a 1.5 kW (2HP) motor, oxygen transfer performance of up to ≥2.5 kg O₂/h and an aeration area of approximately 3,300–5,300 m², this aerator provides an efficient solution for maintaining healthy water conditions and supporting high-density aquaculture.
Powerful Oxygenation with Surge-Wave Water Flow
Unlike traditional paddle wheel aerators or impeller aerators, the Surge Wave Aeration Aerator 2HP is designed to generate a strong and stable surge-wave effect.
During operation, the aerator rapidly agitates and pushes water across the pond surface, creating continuous water movement. This helps:
- Increase the contact area between water and air
- Improve oxygen transfer at the water surface
- Promote water circulation throughout the pond
- Reduce stagnant areas
- Help distribute dissolved oxygen more evenly
- Support healthier fish and shrimp growth
The unique water-flow pattern makes the aerator particularly suitable for large aquaculture ponds and intensive farming systems.
Key Features
1.5 kW / 2HP High-Efficiency Motor
Equipped with a powerful 1.5 kW motor, equivalent to approximately 2HP, the Surge Wave Aeration Aerator 2HP delivers strong water movement and reliable oxygenation performance for intensive aquaculture applications.
Power: 1.5 kW / 2HP
Oxygen Transfer Rate: ≥2.5 kg O₂/h
Power Efficiency: ≥1.5 kg O₂/kWh
Large Aeration Coverage
The Surge Wave Aeration Aerator 2HP can provide an effective aeration area of approximately:
3,300–5,300 m²
The large coverage area makes it suitable for medium and large aquaculture ponds, helping farmers reduce oxygen-deficient zones and maintain better pond water circulation.
Energy-Efficient Aeration
The optimized motor and water-flow structure of the Surge Wave Aeration Aerator 2HP are designed to deliver efficient oxygenation with relatively low energy consumption.
With an oxygen transfer efficiency of ≥1.5 kg O₂/kWh, the aerator helps aquaculture farms achieve effective oxygenation while controlling operating costs.
More oxygen per unit of electricity = lower aeration cost.
Easy Installation & Operation
The Surge Wave Aeration Aerator 2HP features a simple mechanical structure that makes installation and operation straightforward.
It can be installed and put into operation quickly without complicated installation procedures, making it convenient for aquaculture farms that need to deploy multiple aerators across a pond.
Long Service Life
The motor and transmission system of the Surge Wave Aeration Aerator 2HP are designed for continuous operation in demanding aquaculture environments.
The structure is optimized to withstand long working periods while maintaining stable performance, helping reduce maintenance frequency and long-term operating costs.
Overheating Protection
During operation, water may enter the motor/gearbox area and help dissipate heat generated during continuous operation.
The motor is designed with protection against overheating. When the temperature rises excessively, the protection system helps prevent motor damage and improves operational safety.
How Does a Surge Wave Aeration Aerator Work?
The working principle of the Surge Wave Aeration Aerator 2HP is based on mechanical water agitation and surface aeration.
Step 1 — Motor Drives the Aeration System
The 1.5 kW motor provides continuous mechanical power to the aeration mechanism.
Step 2 — Water Is Rapidly Agitated
The rotating aeration structure rapidly pushes and agitates the surrounding pond water.
Step 3 — Surge Waves Are Generated
The water is propelled outward, producing a continuous surge-wave effect across the pond surface.
Step 4 — Air-Water Contact Increases
The water surface is continuously disturbed, increasing the contact between atmospheric oxygen and pond water.
Step 5 — Dissolved Oxygen Is Distributed
The resulting water movement helps distribute oxygen-rich water and improve overall pond circulation.
