available space, outside temperature, energy costs, etc.) Advantages of Recirculating Aquaculture System The choice of biological filtration is depending on many factors (e.g. Both system are perfectly capable of removing the ammonia from the system water. See detailed explanation on RAS technology below. To ensure good water purification, recirculating systems consist of a number of components with specific functions.

Still our recirculating systems are capable of reusing 90% or more of the culture water. The non-degradable waste products must be removed and evaporated water must be replaced. It is however not possible to design a fully closed recirculating system. By recirculating the culture water, the water and energy requirements are limited to an absolute minimum. The purified water is subsequently saturated with oxygen and returned to the fish tanks.

The produced waste products solid waste, ammonium and CO2, are either removed or converted into non-toxic products by the system components. A recirculating aquaculture system is an almost completely closed circuit. In a recirculating aquaculture system the culture water is purified and reused continuously.
