Oxygenation system for whole-life on-land

An oxygenation and flow control system aims to provide a whole-life option for land-based aquaculture programmes.

BOC’s SOLVOX® OxyStream technology operates over a full range of salinity conditions, eliminating the need to transfer fish from land-based tanks to sea cages as they grow.  The technology is particularly suited to ongrowing fish to post-smolt stage in the same location.

SOLVOX® OxyStream tackles three critical conditions essential for an effective and efficient aquaculture process. It dissolves oxygen into the stock tank water directly at point of use; creates the correct hydrodynamics with adjustable directional flow; and strips out potentially harmful gases such as dissolved nitrogen.  BOC believe the system is easily installed – both in new and retrofit projects – and is virtually maintenance-free.

Keith Nicholson, BOC Technical Specialist, says, “Until recently, maintaining the oxygen levels and quality of the environment in land-based facilities over a sustained period was a difficult challenge. The SOLVOX® OxyStream solution means that whole-life on-land aquaculture is now an attractive and cost effective option for the industry.”  Read more...

BOC will be at the Aquaculture Show UK, Aviemore, Scotland. May 23-24th, 2012.
