Aquaponics
Aquaponics is an integrated approach to efficient and sustainably use of intensive soilless agriculture based on aquaculture effluents. It uses the nutrients that are usually discarded as aquaculture waste water. At the same time this system uses more than 90% less water than traditional agriculture.
As a company that develops highly efficient recirculation aquaculture systems, we are fully aware of the potential value of the effluents released as well as the impact they have on our environment. AquaBioTech Group has developed customised solutions by integrating innovative technologies into the proven horticulture concepts.
The aquaponic systems we design are:
- Efficient: using the latest plant cultivation, waste water treatment and aquaculture techniques
- Modular: can be adapted to existing hydroponic or aquaculture facilities, or designed as a complete system
- Adaptabe: different plant and fish species can be grown according to the local market demands
- Sustainable: conserving water, energy and nutrients
- Supported: our internal and external horticulture and aquaculture experts can provide professional support and training
AquaBioTech Group has established a highly efficient recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) which can be connected to its own biological reactor and connected to a hydroponic system. Either component can be adapted and added on to existing fish or hydroponic farms to create a working ‘aquaponic’ system or developed as an entirely new unit.
