NBOT for Fish Farming & Aquaculture

Key Benefits

  • Excels in breaking down contaminants, including excess nutrients and organic matter, providing a more thorough and efficient water treatment than ozone.
  • Nanobubbles penetrate the entire water column, delivering uniform and comprehensive treatment across fish farming systems.
  • Reduces resource consumption and operational costs.

In the dynamic landscape of fish farming and aquaculture, NBOT emerges as a revolutionary solution, eclipsing conventional ozone-based methods. This cutting-edge technology represents a paradigm shift in the way we approach water treatment for aquaculture, delivering a multitude of advantages for fish farms. NBOT creates an aquatic environment of unparalleled purity, free from contaminants and harmful microorganisms, ultimately promoting robust fish health and ensuring sustainable, high-quality yields. A hallmark feature of NBOT is its capacity to generate nanobubbles, enabling a comprehensive, in-depth, and highly effective water treatment process. These nanobubbles penetrate every nook and cranny of the aquaculture system, leaving no space for pathogens, algae, or impurities that could compromise fish health or product quality. By consistently elevating water quality standards and cultivating an environment conducive to thriving aquatic life, NBOT proves to be a game-changer in the field of fish farming and aquaculture. Furthermore, NBOT’s resource-efficient operation aligns seamlessly with the financial and environmental considerations of contemporary aquaculture. It doesn’t merely safeguard fish health; it actively contributes to environmentally responsible, cost-effective aquatic production, serving as a linchpin in global food production and ecological balance.

Benefits of NBOT with Farm Fishing & Aquaculture

Removal of Dissolved Organic Compounds (DOCs)

Dissolved organic compounds (DOCs) impart a distinctive tea-colored hue to the water. Moreover, DOC is resistant to biodegradation and accumulates depending on factors such as feed input, water exchange frequency, and solids removal rate. An elevated DOC concentration can exert stress on fish and diminish the nitrification capacity of a biofilter. Through the process of oxidation, dissolved organic compounds undergo conversion into more readily nitrifiable substances.

Removal of Nitrate

The accumulation of nitrite becomes more pronounced as production intensifies and organic loads on the biofilter rise. Bacteria responsible for converting ammonia into nitrite exhibit enhanced efficiency under increased organic loads compared to the bacteria responsible for converting nitrite into nitrate. Elevated nitrite concentrations can pose toxicity risks to fish. Data suggests that nitrite levels as low as 2.8 parts per million (ppm) can result in a 5% reduction in fingerling growth. NBOT enhances biofiltration and nitrification by directly oxidizing nitrite into nitrate and diminishing organic loads.

Disinfection

Facilities are required to diminish the introduction of pathogenic organisms through source water, and it’s imperative to disinfect effluent waters before their release into the environment. NBOT proves highly effective in deactivating a wide range of bacterial, viral, fungal, and protozoan pathogens that affect fish. The efficacy of NBOT treatment hinges on several factors, including potency concentration, duration of NBOT treatment time, pathogen concentrations, and organic matter levels.
