Following successful field trials of a new micro bubble diffuser designed for the fish farming industry, Mantec has now launched an enhanced variant of the product into the market place under the brand CORALith. Building on our heritage of supplying more than 300,000 ceramic diffusers in the past 20 years, this new micro bubble diffuser introduces very small bubbles into the body of water, resulting in more surface area per unit volume and greater oxygen transfer exchange. In addition, agglomeration of bubbles as they rise to the surface is minimised.
Mantec has been active in the supply of ceramic diffusers into the aquaculture sector since the 1990s. In recent times, the sector is increasingly demanding diffusers which produce the finest bubbles to ensure adequate and efficient oxygenation of the water in which fish are farmed. The need for finer bubbles is grounded on maximising the oxygen transfer at greater water depths.With this in mind Sterner's new Mantec diffuser is based on a porous ceramic tube, having a closely controlled pore size of one micron. This results in even, fine bubbles to produce efficient oxygen transfer. Fitted with two square stainless steel end caps, the CORALith diffuser assembly can be positioned in the tank in any horizontal orientation, without the operator having to be concerned that the diffuser is sitting flat on the base of the tank. The diffuser assembly is designed with a replaceable ceramic tube.Furthermore, the diffuser has been designed to minimise any potential leak paths, thereby ensuring the efficiency of oxygen transfer. Thanks to its robust construction, the operator need not be concerned about removing the diffuser from the tank when the oxygen feed remains switched on. In addition, the hose tail coupling does not rely on push-fit connections, instead it is secured with a British Standard Pipe thread to provide a secure connection with the mating hose.
These aquaculture-duty diffusers are among the most efficient diffusers available, allowing you to increase yield while controlling the cost of expensive gases. Made from premium materials and subject to rigorous testing, Micro Bubble Diffusers provide the kind of performance and reliability our reputation is built on. Size below depicts base dimensions.

Point Four diffusers use a specially developed, ultra fine pore ceramic plate that produces a cloud of extremely fine bubbles of approximately 100–500 microns; far superior to airstones, porous hose or membrane type designs. The flat plate design ensures uniform bubbles across the entire surface and minimizes bubble coalescence to achieve an absorption rate in excess of 80%, depending on depth and flowrate. Bubbling Pressure is 25 to 35 psi. (1.7 to 2.4 bar).
Applications for micro-bubble diffusers include pure gas applications (pure oxygen, carbon dioxide), high-density hauling, holding/growout tanks and emergency aeration.

Oxygen Transfer Performance
Surface aerators waste a huge amount of kinetic energy throwing the water into the air, transfer coefficient is 1 kg to 2 kg of oxygen per kW. Membrane diffusers are more efficient at 2 kg to 3 kg of oxygen per kW. The Dryden Aqua diffuser at over 5 kg is therefore the most efficient fine bubble diffuser available and is ideal for retrofit applications as a simple drop in product for tanks and ponds in Aquaculture and Waste Water Treatment.

Numerous aerator comparison tests show that paddle wheel aerators have the highest oxygen transfer per kWh. The easy-to-understand reason for this is that paddle wheel aerators create a directed flow and distribute the enriched water in the body of water. The renewed aeration of pond water that has just been aerated, as is unavoidable with some other types of aerators, is excluded. PWA paddle wheel aerators are in use in thousands of fish farms and shrimp farms around the world. In Europe, these devices are mostly used in fish farms and larger bodies of water (lakes, ponds).Advantages:- effective oxygen enrichment (O2)- degassing (CO2) with high fish stock- flow generation and distribution of the enriched water in the body of water- uncloggable- excellent price/performance ratio- maintenance and repair (if necessary) on site- very long service life (10 years of continuous operation and longer have been reported)Due to the intensive flow generation, these devices are only conditional suitable for small or medium-sized ponds. Even for the smallest devices with 0.49 kW (P2), the body of water should not be smaller than 500 m². If the water is too small or too shallow, there is a risk of embankments being flushed out and sludge being stirred up. The devices are only conditionally suitable for winter use.It is delivered as a kit with assembly instructions. Please note that devices with three-phase motors must be commissioned by a specialist. It is strongly recommended to only operate the device in connectionwith an appropriate motor protection. Please note that operating the device without a motor protection switch will void the motor warranty.
