Supplier of RAS equipment Mat-Kuling is due to deliver the first group of the world's largest protein skimmers to Atlantic Sapphire, they announced in a press release dated April 10, and will be part of phase two of the Miami Bluehouse expansion.
The expansion is currently the largest recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) globally and is located in Miami, Florida. The site will be raising salmon on land and aims to be growing 220,000 tons of salmon annually by 2031 with a focus on recycling 99 percent of the water used.
Mat-Kuling has been working closely with Atlantic Sapphire, Hazen & Sawyer and Wharton Smith for the last nine months to oversee the integration of its technology in with phase two of the project.
The purpose of foam fractionator technology is to remove waste in RAS which includes fish waste, CO2, ammonia and organic compounds from metabolic byproducts, algae and phenols. Many of the aforementioned affect animal growth and health, as well as impact on the flavour of the final product, so to ensure their removal in RAS is highly beneficial.
