MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641007426 A) filed by Fishery Science College, Mangalore, Karnataka, on Jan. 26, for 'an adjustable water curtain diffuser for precision recirculating aquaculture system.'
Inventor(s) include Manjulesh Pai; Nayana Papanna; Rakesh Kalyani; Gajendra; Rathod Kumara; Sheethal Kundapura Umesh; and Sankighatta Rangaswamaiah Somashekara.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The subject matter discloses an adjustable water curtain diffuser (100) for an aquaculture tank (201). The diffuser (100) comprises plurality of nozzles (118) arranged as a nozzle array on a rotatable manifold, a stepper motor operatively coupled to the rotatable manifold to adjust nozzle orientation; a pump (203) fluidly connected to the diffuser (100) through a water inlet (122). A sensor unit (202) provides sensor data comprising various water quality parameters. A monitoring unit (112) processes real-time sensor data and, automatically controls at least one of the angular orientation of the nozzle array and a flow rate supplied by the pump (203) so as to dynamically modify a discharge direction and flow profile of the nozzles (118) to form a substantially laminar water curtain thereby providing uniform internal water circulation and maintaining water quality parameters indicated by the sensors, within predefined operating ranges."
