Mr Dullstein has an engineering degree from the Universityof Stuttgart and a PhD in dynamic simulation in wastewater treatment from the
same university.
International Aquafeed magazine caught up with Mr Dullstein
at Aquaculture UK recently, held this year at the Macdonald Aviemore Highland
Resort, situated at the foot of the Cairngorm Mountains in Scotland.

Linde have many years of experience in the gas supply
industry and have been long established as an international brand name. But who
are Linde gases, and what is unique to the company that they are able to offer
to the Aquaculture industry?
Linde gas is an international gas company with globally more
than over 60,000 employees active in more than 100 countries globally,
providing solutions for the gas industry and any other kind of application
where you need gases and aquaculture is one of them, obviously. So in the field
of aquaculture we are developing solutions for the fish farming industry since
the mid 1980’s.
Linde undertakes the research and development of all our
aquaculture technology at our Innovation Centre in Ålesund, Norway. With its
highly equipped laboratories demonstration tanks, the Centre allows aquaculture
technologists to observe how the latest oxygenation technologies impact farmed
fish development.
Since its opening in 2012 Linde has introduced the
capability to run warm water trials to understand and assess the performance of
its technology in high temperature water environments inhabited by more
tropical species. Additionally, they
have recently installed an external floating dock where technology trials can
be performed in the surrounding fjord.
Are Linde currently developing any new aquaculture specific
technologies, and if so, what are they and why is their function so important
to the aquaculture industry?
The most important factor for achieving healthy fish is to
have healthy water; thus, controlling the concentration of oxygen dissolved in
water is crucial in aquaculture. Maintaining the right level of oxygen in water
improves utilisation of feed, reduces fish mortality and reduces the need for
vaccination and antibiotics.
The latest development that we are presenting here is the
Solvox Drop-In unit, which can be used for sea cages when you have low oxygen
concentration. Naturally in sea cages, you would always have enough oxygen from
the surrounding water so its for where naturally.
