Aeration application for fish farming

Aeration in fish farming

Fish farms use aeration or oxygenation to provide ideal conditions for the fish. By supplying oxygen to the water, water circulation is improved which helps prevent gill diseases. Read the solution our distributor Flow-Teknikk supplied for a Norwegian customer.

CEM Systems for NASA Research

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) recently redesigned the system used to test the new space suit Portable Life Support System (PLSS) that is under development. In order to test the PLSS a simulated human metabolic load must be applied to the various sub-systems and so NASA needed to simulate the human production of CO2 and water vapor with its associated heat load.
