NaturalShrimp reported on July 14, 2022, that their hydrenesis technology has been successfully applied to Hanilu Farms, a commercial aquaculture facility based in Cutler, Indiana.
Hydrenesis 'Redox' water treatment technologies work by affecting water chemistry and have proven efficient technologies for scaling hatchery and nursery systems while positively impacting health and growth metrics. In doing so, the company is able to produce fresh shrimp without using antibiotics, probiotics or chemicals.
Since 2017 Hanilu Farms has provided locally grown barramundi as its indoor RAS facility. The facility consists of 34 tanks and produces more than 900 kilograms of live fish per week, annually. Natural Aquatic Systems which is an owned subsidiary of NaturalShrimp works closely with Hanilu Farms. Founder of Hanilu Farms, Lealand Meador, has made vital contributions to research, data collection, automation and improvements of the hydrenesis technology particularly the hardware and its ruggedisation.
Independent RAS testing centre Marineholmen RASLab in Norway recently completed a trial where they evaluated the effectiveness of hydrogas and electrocoagulation technologies compared with traditional methods of using a biofilter when raising salmon. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the former, and NaturalShrimp expects 'technology licensing opportunities' for salmon and finfish producers globally.
"Our success with our early aquaculture partner Hanilu Farms using hydrogas technology supports the significant potential for commercial licensing of the technology as an additional revenue stream," explains Gerald Easterling, CEO of NaturalShrimp. "The ability to increade health and survival rates in commercial facilities opens our opportunity to additional worldwide seafood markets, including salmon, barramundi and other freshwater fish."
Hydrogas works to eliminate industrial and biological problems which are caused by oxidation in production facilities. It is able to solve a number of issues related to corrosion, low oxygenation, ammonia, bacterial growth, and so on.
"Hanilu has noted that while using Hydrenesis, mortality rate goes down, the feed conversion ratio improves, and the fish grow faster. We are incredibly thankful for Hanilu Farms' input as they utilised ur technology, and we look forward to working with them as both companies scale operations," concludes Mr Easterling.
