Welcome to our website.

YUYUE, the world’s leading manufacturer of garden hose and aeration tubing is proud to introduce Aero-Tube™ aeration tubing, the next major advance in water aeration. Building on our extensive knowledge and expertise, we have developed Aero-Tube™ aeration tubing, a more affordable and durable aeration tube (Patent #5,811,164) and one of the most efficient products on the market. Aero-Tube™ products are designed, manufactured and patented specifically for oxygen transfer and aeration efficiency. Aero-Tube™ continuous bubble aeration tubing delivers oxygen in volumes that are unmatched by other systems, and at an energy cost that is often less than half than that of conventional systems.

Aero-Tube™ Technology

It doesn’t matter if an aeration system or device splashes, sprays, or diffuses air, the bottom line is how much surface area it creates. The surface area is where water contacts air and where oxygen transfer takes place. Smaller bubble size results in more surface area, which is why fine bubble aeration devices are superior in oxygen transfer than coarse bubble aerators. To maximize aeration efficiency in a system, an aerator must create fine bubbles while expending a minimum amount of energy. Aero-Tube™ technology meets both goals, and does so with a long-life, low-maintenance system.

The technology behind the extremely high performance and efficiency of Aero-Tube™ is our twice-patented manufacturing process which, through a unique combination of technique and raw material, creates numerous tiny pores throughout the length of the hose. These micro-pores allow the efficient transfer of air into the water. By combining Aero-Tube™ aeration tubing with an efficient clean air blower, you create a high efficiency, low cost method of aerating water.

Aero-Tube™ achieves its high energy efficiency in two ways:

1.Due to the number of pores created during our manufacturing process, there is little resistance created when pushing air through the tubing. Resistance equals energy demand. By working with Aero-Tube™, you can use significantly less horsepower when compared with traditional methods of aeration (paddlewheels, aspirators, less efficient tubing).

2.Aero-Tube’s tiny pore size creates extremely small diameter bubbles. The smaller a bubble of air the more efficiently it transfers oxygen into water (more surface area!). Small bubbles also take longer to rise once they are introduced into water. Slower rising, small-diameter bubbles mean more contact with the water and a much higher rate of oxygen transfer.

By creating significantly smaller bubbles, more efficiently, Aero-Tube™ products are able to deliver high rates of oxygen transfer and energy efficiency.

For example:

The mechanical aerators tested by GSEE Inc., provided from 1.7 to 3.0 pounds (0.8 to 1.4 kg) of oxygen per horsepower consumed, where YUYUE Aero-Tube™ aeration tubing yielded from 6 to 8 pounds (2.7 to 3.6 kg) of oxygen per horsepower used in fresh water. In salt water, Aero-Tube™ tubing supplied up to 15 pounds (6.8 kg) of oxygen per horsepower, making it the ideal choice for shrimp and salt water fish aquaculture.

The benefits of Aero-Tube™ technology include a major reduction in energy costs, significantly higher oxygen transfer rates per hour, higher dissolved oxygen (DO) levels, and an improved bottom line.To see exactly how Aero-Tube™ outperforms other aeration devices, look onto our Independent Aeration Test Results.

YUYUE engaged GSEE Inc. an internationally recognized engineering firm, to conduct performance tests on our aeration tube in both fresh and salt water environments. In a controlled study, GSEE Inc. compared an airlift aerator utilizing Aero-Tube™ technology with an equal horsepower paddle wheel and brush paddle wheel aerator, two of the most popular aeration technologies on the market today.
Aero-Tube™ performed extremely well in all areas, including its ability to transfer oxygen to water, expressed in terms of a standard oxygen rate (SOTR), and its efficiency in terms of pounds of oxygen per kilowatt-hour (the standard aerator efficiency or SAE Wire, rate).

In the fresh water testing, the Aero-Tube™ aerator exceeded the paddle wheel’s energy efficiency (SAE Wire) by up to 2.6 times.

YUYUE’s Aero-Tube™ aeration tubing performed even better in the salt water test. As the density of the water’s salt content increased (from 5,000mg to 35,000 mg), the oxygen advantage of the Aero-Tube™ system steadily rose. At 35,000 mg/L NaCl, the energy efficiency of Swan’s Aero-Tube™ aerator was as much as 4.2 times the efficiency of the paddle wheel.

Why did our aeration tubing outperform the paddle wheel? Because nearly all of the energy used to deliver the air that goes through our tubing goes directly into the water. A paddle wheel, wastes energy by throwing water into the air to pick up oxygen. Stated another way, “we put air in the water, not water in the air”.

The Aero-Tube™ effect can be seen clearly in the following graphs of the changing Dissolved Oxygen (DO) levels over time at different salinity levels. The tank using Aero-Tube™ technology shows a quick and efficient gain in DO when compared to the paddle wheel tank.

The bottom line in these studies is your bottom line. Since Swan’s Aero-Tube™ aeration tubing efficiently transfers oxygen when compared to alternative aeration technologies you stand to save significant money in energy consumption over the lifetime of the system!

Aero-Tube™ aeration tubing has been used successfully with a wide range of Aquaculture species and production systems. Whether you are producing shrimp or fish, anywhere you are using traditional aeration systems to oxygenate your water, you can benefit from the efficiency and durability of an Aero-Tube™ system. Aero-Tube™ technology has numerous applications including grow out ponds, raceways, recirculating systems, hatcheries, cage culture and live-haul trucks. Aquaculture Aeration

Since a majority of all aquaculture problems, including disease, are caused by poor water quality and, in turn, most water quality problems can be resolved with proper aeration (oxygenation), it is clear that aeration plays a crucial role in this process.

Oxygen is the main limiting factor in both recirculating and traditional aquaculture systems. Less than the required levels lead to poor water quality, poor feed conversion ratios (FCR), reduced growth and increased mortality. With high energy prices, energy efficiency is becoming much more important when comparing aeration techniques and devices. Many of the traditional aeration devices like paddlewheels and aspirator style aerators have a poor track record of reliability and higher overall energy requirements. “Aerator Graveyards” have become a common sight throughout the industry as old aeration devices are replaced and discarded year after year.

YUYUE Aero-Tube™ aeration tubing can solve these problems with these distinct its advantages:

Reduces energy costs by up to 75%Lack of moving parts provides a very low maintenance alternativeMaintains higher dissolved oxygen (DO) levelsAllows for higher stocking densitiesAllows for higher feeding ratesAllows for more frequent feedingsFaster Growth and reduced FCRLow start up costLow replacement cost

Aero-Tube™ technology has been used successfully with a wide range of Aquaculture species and in a wide range of production systems.

Wastewater Treatment plant operators are under increasing pressure to maximize the performance of their plants. Facing population growth, aging infrastructure, and tightening regulations, operators are being forced to do more with less. Maximizing the efficiency of the aeration process is an easy way to improve overall plant capacity and efficiency.

Aero-Tube™ is an innovative, high performance aeration system that can be easily, effectively, and economically be incorporated into an existing wastewater treatment plant or planned wastewater treatment plant. The secret to the Aero-Tube™ technology lies in a patented manufacturing process that delivers exceptionally high micro pore densities and exceptionally low pumping resistance. This translates into a more effective, lower cost solution for your aeration needs.

If you are a wastewater treatment plant operator or a consulting engineer advising a plant, here are several factors to consider when comparing aeration technologies:

Where does the technology fall on the KISS scale of simplicity?What is the relationship between the capital and recurring costs of the system?Can I depend on the manufacturer to deliver performance that meets their claims?

Aero-Tube™ technology does not incorporate any moving parts, resulting in an extremely low maintenance requirement. By comparison, technologies like paddlewheels, aspirators and other aeration technologies require regular, and sometimes expensive and exasperating, maintenance.

Aero-Tube™ makes the most sense economically because of its high efficiency in oxygen transfer per kW of electricity.
