A simple device that can be used to clean and manage water in aquaculture systems.
Fish farmers face problems when they raise fish in intensive, closed systems. As fish breathe, they take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. This makes the water quality in fish farms go down quickly. Uneaten food and feces pile up, making the area un
Positive facts about Vacuum AirLift™
VAL™ reduces energy consumption up to one eighth the level required for competing equipment
VAL™ has been demonstrated to reduce pathogen loads by 99.9% in 12 hours, decreasing notably E. coli concentration from 16750 u/ml to 27 u/ml
In independent testing against other foam fractionators, the VAL™ was 45% more effective in reducing Total Suspended Solids (TSS) using 66% less energy than competing equipment
Due to its high energy efficiency VAL™ has a greater than 85% reduction in CO2 emissions
As part of a photo bioreactor based waste processor, VAL™ removed 96% of total suspended solids (TSS) and dissolved organics – Total Organic Carbon (TOC) was reduced from 210 to 7.8 mg/l
VAL™ does not produce any hazardous waste by products – it uses a purely physical process requiring no chemical additives providing a 100% reduction in consumables
The energy cost to operate VAL™ is as low as 15% of competing solutions
In a US fish hatchery, VAL™ provided a rate increase of 2.6 to 5.3 times depending on species
In a US fish hatchery, VAL™ provides a fast ROI and significant payback by reducing acquisition costs by 38% and operating cost by approximately 50%
