Large-scale UV Channel Systems installed in fish farm facility
2 x MR100-350SS Channel Systems
The Danish trout and pike perch producer, AquaPri, decided in 2016 to expand its production facilities due to the increasing demand for fish. The new fish farm plant was originally designed without a UV system in place, but through the startup phase the problems with bacteria grew rapidly. Therefore, ULTRAAQUA’s challenge was to properly design and size a UV system for retrofit, that effectively ensure protection against bacteria, increased the survival rate and drastically reduced the use of medication.
The main systems are two MR100-350SS Channel units which were chosen for keeping the recirculated water free of diseases. The units have a disinfection volume of 2600 m3/h per unit in a very compact area, where the footprint of the 35kW unit is under 1 m2. Each unit holds 100 pcs of 350W lamps, with a guaranteed lamp lifetime of 16000 hours, which can save up to 22% in operational cost. Ultraaqua has developed the most powerful yet most efficient UV-systems in the market, where the long lifetime and efficiency is a result of 20 years research and development work. The guaranteed 16000 hours lifetime is achieved by an advanced optimization between the lamps and its ballast.
By incorporating our UV Channel to be part of AquaPri’s water treatment system, the mortality is reduced significantly, while the stability is increasing.
