Aquaculture: Sustainable Solutions for a Growing World

Fisheries and aquaculture are vital sources of healthy protein, integral to global diets and traditions.

However, with 85% of marine stocks overexploited (WWF) and the global population projected to reach 10 billion by 2050, sustainable protein production is critical. Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) offer a promising solution, but they come with unique challenges requiring advanced technologies for water quality and system efficiency.

The Role of Ozone in Aquaculture

Ozone is a game-changer for aquaculture, offering powerful disinfection, improved water clarity, and reduced organic contamination. Its benefits for RAS systems include:

Destroying pathogens and reducing biofouling.
Lowering nitrite concentrations and organic load.
Stabilizing water quality and reducing energy costs.

Our expertise ensures ozone systems are optimally designed and placed to maximize these advantages, improving efficiency and lowering operational expenses.

The most typical application areas are:

Intake water treatment

Intake water poses a risk of introducing contaminants into RAS systems. Arrow Lake’s ozone-based solutions disinfect water while removing unwanted substances like color, odor, iron, and manganese, ensuring a clean and safe system.

Protein Skimmer Boost-er

Protein skimmers maintain water quality by removing organic matter and pathogens. Arrow Lake’s FLO3W® technology enhances skimmer efficiency, reducing ozone demand by 30%, lowering energy consumption, and improving water stability.

Heat exchanger efficiency

Biofouling in heat exchangers increases energy costs and maintenance. Ozone minimizes biofilm growth, ensuring efficient heat transfer, stable temperatures, and reduced energy use.

Oxygen Enrichment

Consistent dissolved oxygen is vital for aquaculture. Arrow Lake’s Roturi technology delivers efficient oxygen dissolution with minimal pressure loss, adapting to variations in water and gas flow for fresh or brackish water.
