Aquaculture - FishWise

Background

In aquaculture, limiting nitrogen levels in recycled pond effluent is vital to the survival of the stock. Elevated levels of ammonium or nitrite can pose an acute health risk to fish and other aquatic organisms.
 
In addition, worldwise water shortage, regulatory demand and quality requirements  are forcing the aquaculture industry to become more mechanized. Water from fishponds must be recycled for continued use with a particular attention to nutrient removal.
 
The AGAR® - FishWise process is uniquely suited for treating intensive and dependable nitrogen removal.
 

 

Applications

The AGAR® - FishWise System is a combination of:
  • Nitrifing AGAR® Roughing Filter Reactor in which  the AqWise Biomass Carriers develop a highly active nitrifying biomass population, ensuring consistently low ammonia levels in the effluent produced.
  • AqWise upflow Carrier-Filter, based on AqWise Media, design to work on very high flow with minimum head-lose and maximum TSS removal, ensure that the level of TSS returned to the fishpond is very low.
  • A denitrification unit can be adding to the process based on the filter back-washed sludge. Recommended only in cases were alkalinity is very low.  

Benefits

AGAR® FishWise system improves the profitability of your farm::

  • Dramatic increase in fish quantity, doubling and even tripling product amount in the same size pond
  • Sustaining high quality water in the fish pond by efficient removal of Ammonia and Suspended Solids
  • Reducing fresh water requirement to a level in which water exchange of the pond is only once every 10 days
  • Maintaining a high rate fish growth even at low ambient temperatures, by a closed water loop heating system
  • Savings in energy consumption while increasing efficient Oxygen loading and CO2 removal
  • Maintaining high rate fish growth also for sensitive species as Striped Bass and European Seabass
  • Competitive upgrade package, tailor-made according to the growers specific needs
  • Full flexibility in design while taking advantage of the existing infrastructure
  • Simple User Friendly system both in Operation and Maintenance
  • Fulfilling the Environmental norms and regulations
