Global demand for fish is rising rapidly, placing a growing strain on wild reserves. Fish farming has the potential to meet this demand. To create optimum fish farming conditions, farmers need to ensure appropriate nutrition and prevent diseasend while protecting the oceans from further over-fishing.

Solutions for fresh waterElaborate oxygenation technology for perfect ecosystems in closed containment fresh water systems

Thanks to modern operation design and fresh water technology, inland aquaculture has become the fastest-growing food production section worldwide, contributing significantly to local, provincial and national economic accounts. Along with this upward trend goes a shift from small to mid-sized farms to large scale operations. Changing premises that require technology to offer customized solutions that guarantee optimum fish health and profitability in all farm scales.

Innovative technology for all industrial sizes

SOLVOX C cones are designed to increase the concentration of gases in water to a rather high level. In standard operation, the gas transfer efficiency is close to 100%. The operation of the cone is simple: as water and gas enter from the top, the water jet forces the water to
mix intensively with the oxygen bubbles, thus creating a high specific interface and high turbulence at the top of the dissolver.

Note: The raw material also provides this picture in higher resolution, but it has not been retouched. In the artificial environment of closed containment fish farms, perfect water oxygenation and temperature is key for a balanced ecosystem – independent of size or fish stock density. Due to its precise monitoring and controlling capabilities, our SOLVOX® product line is an advanced all-fit solution engineered for perfect oxygen dissolution and distribution. The fish benefit from a water current and oxygenating levels that are as close as possible to nature.

Highly energy efficient and low maintenance solutions for fresh water farming

Besides its wide capacity range, the offering of the SOLVOX oxygenation system for the fresh water aquaculture goes beyond optimum oxygen levels. To meet the special needs of the industry, Linde engineers have developed new highly efficient oxygenation systems that are low in energy consumption, easily installed and deployed and above: adjustable. Important assets in regard to improving performance and attaining sustainability.

 

  • SOLVOX®C is a pressure dissolver cone designed to increase the concentration of gases in the water to a rather high level.
  • SOLVOX®CV further boosts oxygenation dissolving capacity by almost 50%.
  • SOLVOX®Mix enabling to mix water with high oxygen concentration into a main water flow, without degassing and thus ensuring high efficiency.
  • SOLVOX®Stream: Water distribution tube with water flow indicator for improved oxygen distribution and tank hydraulics.
  • SOLVOX®F dosing cabinet or precise oxygenation control.
  • SOLVOX®B diffuser hose and SOLVOX CD ceramic diffuser: ideal for emergency and temporary oxygenation dissolution.
