Dear Cornelius:
There is no simple way to provide aeration to your ponds. As you stated
the flue gasses cannot be used. Any system based on expanding air would not
work because of the cooling of the air on it's way to the ponds.
The most efficient way would be to use turbo blowers running off of a
gasifier. The simplest way would be to use the cooling water of an IC engine
pressurized by the water pump to power aerating fountains. This could also
add heat to the ponds unless it's not needed. The IC engine would run off of
a gasifier. The IC engine could then run a generator as well.
