Solutions

Aquaculture

Create safe and efficient flow control in land-based fish farms and RAS facilities. With the right solutions, water flows can be controlled and regulated to support stable and reliable operation.

The right water flow creates the right conditions for fish farming

In land-based fish farming and recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), water flow control is an important part of safe and efficient operation. Water needs to be directed between different parts of the facility, flows regulated and pipelines shut off when necessary. When transferring fish, it is also important to control water flow gently to reduce the risk of injury.

With the right flow control solutions, water management can be adapted to the needs of the facility. This provides greater control over water flows, supports careful fish handling and allows servicing and maintenance to be carried out under controlled conditions. The solutions can be used in both new and existing fish farms and RAS facilities.

Which solutions are right for aquaculture and RAS facilities?

The right solution depends on whether water flow needs to be redirected, shut off in a pipeline or regulated through an opening. Each product serves a different purpose within the facility.

WaGate Gate valve is used to shut off water flow in pipelines. This allows individual parts of the facility to be isolated for servicing and maintenance, for example, without having to shut down the entire system.

WaGate Sluice gate is used to regulate and shut off water flow in channels and openings. It provides control over water flow between different parts of the facility and supports safe operation and maintenance.

FlowGuide 3-Way valve is used to direct water flow between different pipelines in fish farms and RAS facilities. The valve is designed for easy operation and gentle fish transfer through the system, helping to reduce the risk of injury.

    WaGate & WaStop protect Ystad Port

    The solution was a combination of our WaGate SPM-P-TG DN1500 which was mounted on the outgoing pipe, and WaStop DN1200 and DN500 which were placed on the inlet pipe. The WaGate closes in the event of a breakdown and/or accident and ensures that pollutants in the storm water do not flow into the sea. The WaStop was mounted on the inlets in the chamber, to prevent seawater from pushing up into the pipe network at high tide. Without our WaStops, the seawater would have caused flooding in buildings around the area. We are pleased that we were given the opportunity to protect Ystad Port against water pollution and flooding.
