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...
