Engineering

AquaBioTech Group offers design and engineering services for recirculating aquaculture facilities for both research and commercial use. Our design and engineering department is specialised in the newest and most efficient technologies. The resident team of engineers and architects can tailor projects to every requirement and support the client from start to finish on all technical and biological aspects including:

  • Installation; third-party quality control
  • Feasibility study and project budgeting
  • Online technical and biological support
  • Full RAS system design and bio-planning
  • Conceptual planning using 3D CAD software
  • Civil works design; structural, electrical & HVAC
  • Bill of Quantities (construction and technology selection)

Complete systems are designed by experienced operators with biosecurity as a priority and include integrated online monitoring systems to enable our staff to provide remote support and advice to the client, long after the onsite training has been completed.

As a result of the efforts of our own research and development department we have developed some of the most advanced and cost-effective filtration solutions available on the market today. Filtration modules that can process from 2 m3 up to 10,000 m3 of water per hour are available, as well as custom-designed solutions that are specific for each client’s requirements and budget.

AquaCirc™

With extensive global experience in the design and construction of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) for new projects and retro-fits, we offer a wealth of knowledge, assisting in management and monitoring of land-based production facilities. From flow-through systems to super intensive RAS, our company undertakes a variety of projects. These include anything from full project engineering, to specific biological aspects of production systems for mainstream and emerging species.

Our large scale recirculation systems are designed by experienced RAS fish farm operators and engineers to produce optimal performance in terms of production, energy consumption and reduce water discharge. Complete systems are designed with biosecurity as a priority and include integrated online monitoring systems to enable our staff to provide remote support and advice to clients, long after the onsite training has been completed. The technology retains fundamental design aspects that we have found to be successful and adaptable to clients of varying requirements and to species specific requirements.

ExperiRAS™

With almost twenty years of experience of RAS experimental research, with many different species of fish (and other aquatic animals) in our R&D facility in Malta, AquaBioTech Group has gained vast knowledge on fish nutrition, fish health, fish behaviour, and in-depth understanding of fish husbandry. As a result, AquaBioTech Group developed ExperiRAS™ which is customised to match client needs. The ExperiRAS™ system design is a result of the work of AquaBioTech Group’s engineers and architect, each offering a wide variety of skills, including mechanical engineering, industrial automation and wastewater treatment.

AquaBioTech Group remains unique in its field, providing solutions for a variety of aquatic projects from aquaculture development and environmental monitoring through, to technology innovation and support.

Recirculation system development within aquaculture has entered a new chapter, and AquaBioTech Group has been at the forefront of this technology for many years, having developed a number of highly efficient and cost-effective recirculation aquaculture systems for hatchery, broodstock and on-growing operations. Components of these systems are a result of many years of research and client feedback.

AquaBioTech GroupExperiRAS™ can be designed and operated for several different research purposes, including:

  • Nutritional trials
  • Ecotoxicity tests
  • Pathogen and parasite challenge tests
  • Vaccine and functional ingredient tests
  • Genetic traits studies
  • Fish behaviour studies
  • Shellfish depuration systems
  • Zebrafish experiments

To improve the quality of our client’s experimental research, all AquaBioTech Group ExperiRAS™ systems are equipped with a custom-designed Monitoring and Control. System, with a wide variety of sensors, for measuring:

Water temperature, pH, Redox, Oxygen, Carbon dioxide, Salinity, TGP, Water level or FlowPressure
