Most people imagine biofloc system as falling waste in water and using air blowers to keep lots of water in movement and air fill inside that water. Air blowers are pretty ubiquitous at biofloc farms but often overlooked is another valuable tool for biofloc management that can save the day: the diaphragm pump. This pump in order to maintain the water becomes good and the growth of biofloc.
It is used to pump fluid or gas and uniquely uses a flexible membrane known as a diaphragm. That means it can go move water around in a very efficient way. Diaphragm pumps are the most common pumping equipment in biofloc systems. This prevents the bioflocs from settling down at the bottom of the tank. This is extremely significant as it contributes to the appropriate maintenance of the biofloc culture environment. It prevents waste and toxins from accumulating in the water, which may be harmful to the surrounding organisms in the system.
We know that with a diaphragm pump used in biofloc system, it accelerates the growth of cultures and its food production. This is because the pump supplies oxygenated water. A sufficient amount of dissolved oxygen in water is critical. It feeds and nourishes the good bacteria. These bacteria are important because they transform harmful compounds, such as ammonia, into less harmful nitrite, and then to nitrate. These nitrates can then be utilized as food by the biofloc culture to grow into protein-rich food, an excellent source of food for fish and shrimp.
Optimized: When you look at diaphragm pumps, you will notice that they are optimized to be very efficient. That means they can move large volumes of water for relatively low energy use. Both of these are important for conserving energy, and minimizing costs.
Changeable Flow: Diaphragm pumps can adjust the volume of water they transport. Maintaining the biofloc culture precisely is ver crucial. This means that if the flow exceeds the optimal limit or is less than the optimal floating speed for the biofloc, it will not grow well.
Quiet: Diaphragm pumps are much quieter than air blowers, which is one of the best features of diaphragm pumps. This is particularly an advantage in indoor fish farms, because noise can be an issue there. A quieter environment allows workers to concentrate and facilitates fish flourishing.
Hoping for systems with high levels of biofloc, diaphragm pumps are very effective. These intensive systems require ample oxygen and a lot of water movement, to maintain lots of shrimp or fish. Diaphragm pumps can increase growth rates and thus production of food by providing this level of oxygen and circulation. Farmers will, therefore, be able to cultivate more shrimp or fish in the same space, making them more productive.
