Keeping water clean and healthy in an aquaculture facility requires cautious disinfection, filtering as well as flushing, de-gassing and circulation. This requires a reliable and energy-efficient pumping system.
Fish farms are a crowded place with little time for stopping a pump to disassemble it for refining. Fish farms’ pumps should have a lengthy duty cycle.
Fish Farm Pump Systems
As global demand for fish expands and oceans get getting over-fished it’s becoming popular to raise seafood in fish farms. Large facilities rely upon pumps to transport seawater, then recirculate in order to stop stagnation, as well as transfer trash.
It is one of the major expenses on farms associated with aquaculture. Pumping represents a significant portion of the total energy consumption. By selecting the correct pump, aquaculture operators will be able to significantly reduce energy costs.
Divide the volume of the tank (in litres) by the desired turn-over amount per hour in order to determine the flow of water required by the pump. Pick a pump of similar capacity. It’s not a good idea to wait for a repair call after a bom cong nghiep has stopped working, especially when it’s circulating the fish.
Aquaculture Pump Efficiency
Pumps in aquaculture systems can be essential to transfer water along with distribution of nutrients as well as oxygenation. The amount of energy they consume is one of the biggest operation cost.
One of the easiest ways to boost the efficiency of your system is to make sure that your pump is sized correctly for your application. Divide the tank’s intended turnover rate by the pump’s capacity in order to determine the amount of gallon (or Liters) per hour are needed.
The duration of pumping and the power consumption is also reduced by reducing the pump’s velocity at times when less than the full flow is required. Danfoss offers variable speed drives that permit the speed of motor to be controlled electrically. This allows you to control the flow of the system accurately, as well as conserving energy. Efficiency is key for reducing operational expenses.
Sustainable Pumping Solutions for Fish Farms
The aquaculture industry faces many difficulties: salmon lice problems with water quality, algae problems and waste management. To mitigate these problems, aquaculture relies upon pumps that are extremely efficient sturdy, robust and suitable for flushing, disinfecting, degassing, and circulating water.
Danfoss provides a variety of pumps and power conversion technology to fish farms. These increase the efficiency of pumps by cutting power consumption. Utilizing Danfoss’ pump speed control into a recirculation sytem, fuel consumption can be cut down by up to 50 per cent.
Fisheries are bustling places, where everything happens in one glance. When the lives of livestock depend on a continuous supply of water, there is little time to waste. The reason is that they require long-lasting, simple-to-maintain pump that require no other lubrication. A pump that uses air is one option.
Water Pump Maintenance
Costs for energy are second top operational cost for many Florida aquaculture system. Enhancing the efficiency of aquaculture pumps can reduce these costs. Proper system-sizing and fitting of pumps may also improve performance, reliability and longevity.
Pumps should be engineered to perform at their highest efficiency point (BEP). Cavitation can occur when pumps are not operated at the most efficient point (BEP). It also leads to costly operations and maintenance expenses.
The surface of the farm needs to be considered, because it can affect water stability erosion risk and drainage. This also affects the variables of quality in the water (temperature as well as salinity, pH, and the dissolved oxygen) needed for a specific kinds of fish species to thrive. A second pump on hand and plumbed into the system can reduce interruptions in the event the system failing.
Innovative Pump Technologies for Aquaculture
In aquaculture, a high level of water quality is essential for the sustainable production of fish. But, an increase in fish populations and conditions of overcrowding can create problems with conditions for water, stress and diseases.
Airlift pumps using Constant Flow Technology help maintain consistent flow rates across changing conditions. They are particularly beneficial when it comes to RAS system that utilize filtering media. This prevents debris from clogging the system as well as keep oxygen levels at their highest levels.
DESMI presents a new collection of low-pressure and high-flow pumps suitable for RAS and flow-through use in the land. They’re easier to keep running and provide greater energy efficiency across larger capacities than large propeller pumps. They are also compatible with PLC menus designed specifically for this industry. Applications in aquaculture also need precise load measurement.
