Aquasend has announced its participation in the Xylem Innovation Incubator program, run by leading water technology company Xylem. The program, a one-year initiative, was launched with the objective of helping high school and university level students solve water issues with the help of Xylem colleagues.
Students who participate are given access to equipment, workspaces, networking, and other valuable opportunities. Both Aquasend and Xylem will be working together to provide aquaculture with water solutions and facilitate the development of technologies.
Aquasend is no stranger to water technology, as it provides fish farmers with innovative technology and strives to transform global aqua farming in the next five years. Currently, the products it provides improve water quality via continuous monitoring and are applicable to a wide range of fish farms across the world.
Aquasend's latest product, the Aquasend Beacon, measures dissolved oxygen and temperature, continuously analysing water quality and sending real-time alerts if there are any problems detected. Thanks to the monitoring technology of the Beacon, it can close a "geographical gap" between farmer or researcher, which reduces time, and labour and travel costs.
