Aquaculture
Aquaculture facilities rely on precise level and pressure instrumentation to maintain optimal water quality, temperature, and feeding conditions. Accurate process control ensures sustainable productivity while meeting growing global demand for protein sources.
Overview
Aquaculture encompasses the farming of fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants in controlled environments. Modern aquaculture facilities rely on precise process control to maintain optimal water quality, temperature, and feeding conditions. Accurate level and pressure instrumentation is critical for managing water treatment systems, feed storage, and processing operations. With growing global demand for sustainable protein sources, aquaculture operations must balance productivity with environmental responsibility, ensuring animal welfare while maintaining efficient resource utilization.

Delousing systems
Aquaculture
One of the major challenges for fish farms around the world is lice infestation, which can force farmers to pull their fish out early. In addition to the use of cleaner fish, a thermo-mechanical treat...
Evaporator
Aquaculture
Fish waste is one of the highest quality raw materials for the production of oils. These oils are, among other things, the source of omega-3 oil. The distillation-based production of the oil requires...
Feed line compressors
Aquaculture
When rearing fish larvae to the young adult stage in onshore systems, the optimal amount of oxygen in the water is a necessary criterion for growth. To reliably and cost-efficiently monitor the compre...
Feed pellet silo
Aquaculture
As well as the type of fish being farmed, it is the feed coefficient, the so-called "fish in – fish out" ratio, that determines the required quantity and appropriate composition of feed. To ensure on-...
Feeding barges
Aquaculture
To feed the fish, automatic systems distribute feed pellets from the storage containers. In floating facilities, there are several storage containers located next to the "grow-out tanks" for this purp...
Filter system for coarse dirt
Aquaculture
In on-shore facilities, reliable filtration ensures the required water quality. This is achieved through the use of mechanical drum and disc filters. They form a multi-stage system, where automatic fl...
Fish farming tank
Aquaculture
Under ideal conditions, a wide variety of fish species can live in indoor and outdoor tanks, either in or near the sea. It is extremely important that the tanks are reliably monitored against leakage...
IBC containers with cleaning agents
Aquaculture
Water and cleaning agents are used to efficiently clean the feed pellet containers. These media are stored on site, for example on a feeding barge or on a supply ship. Reliable level measurement ensur...
Intermediate tank for fish waste treatment
Aquaculture
Since the fish scraps left over from filleting still contain a lot of usable substances, they are processed further. To enable simple, mechanical processing, these leftovers are pre-processed for the...
