The AeroScience brand is focused on Water Conservation Products for Agriculture.  The word Aero came from the word Air and the term Science means "the state of knowing".  It is commonly thought that AeroScience is the study of Aeronautics and Aerospace Engineering, which ironically is where the original MicroFog atomizer came from.  Dry Fog atomizers were used to atomize fuel for jet engines in the late 1960's. From that industry, they were repurposed as dust suppression nozz

Dry fog is water vapor that can float in the air for hours and will increase the surrounding air humidity to 99.9%. The size of dry fog can vary between .1 to 10 microns in size. Just for reference, human hair has a thickness of 70 microns and the tip of a sharpened pencil is about 200 microns.Our Microfog Atomizers can create water droplets down to .5 microns which is less than 2 thousandths of one inch. On average the micron range of our atomizers is between 1 and 8 microns.Dry fog has been us
