Aquaculture C02 Stripping Towers
DT Fiberglass’s CO2 striping towers are cost effective and engineered to provide high levels of undesirable gas stripping. Standard towers range from 350, 700, and 1,700 GPM flow rates for cost competitively controlling carbon dioxide build up and efficiently injecting pure oxygen into reusable water systems (RAS) resulting in increased dissolved oxygen solubility.
DT’s Aquaculture C02 stripping towers are conceptually based on a Fresh Water Institute technical paper (S.T. Summerfelt et al. : Aquacultural Engineering 22 (2000) 87-108) highlighting the use of pure oxygen to reduce fish production costs by supporting higher fish and feed loading rates and reducing water flow requirements. This in turn reduces the size and cost of pumping, culture tanks, water reuse equipment, and system housing.
Aquaculture Raceway Tanks
Rectangular Tanks (RT): single piece or sectional raceway tanks, which can be made in segments and assembled on-site to fit large tanks through confined spaces. DT raceway tanks come with versatile capacities and dimensions and may be used in both above and below grade applications. FRP encapsulated structural supports allow for the tanks to be freestanding on a compacted earth or concrete base. In addition, raceway tanks constructed in fiberglass offer robust UV and corrosion resistance.
Aquaculture Culture Tanks
Panel Tanks (PT): Round sectional panel tanks consisting of vertical walls and floors in standard 9’, 12’, 15’, 20’, 30’, and 40’ diameters up to 94k+ gallons. DT panel tanks are ideal for fish raising and holding and are our most popular “bang for your buck” style tanks, providing efficient shipping and simple on-site assembly. All stainless-steel hardware and fiberglass seam sealing kits are included. DT offers the option of on-site assembly to ensure your panel tanks’ leak-free installation.
Circular Tanks (CT): DT‘s round single piece construction circular tanks are ideal for small fish grow-out applications and come with standard diameters ranging up to 10 feet. Circular fish tanks can provide a uniform culture environment, operate under a wide range of rotational velocities to optimize fish health and condition, and can be used to rapidly concentrate and remove settleable solids.
Aquaculture Radial Flow Settler
Because aquaculture solids typically have a low specific gravity, radial flow settlers are the preferred settling devices in most aquaculture applications. DT’s highly efficient filters remove heavy suspended solids that occur in a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS). Fish effluent enters the center of the filter and flows down causing high-density solids to be easily settled out of the water column as they gather at the bottom of the settler. Filtered water overflows a weir at the top of the radial flow settler and is pumped to the next phase of system (directly to grow beds or drum filter).
Aquatic Gravity Thickening Settler
DT’s Gravity Thickening Settler is a large-scale variation of the Radial Flow Settler that uses the natural tendency of dense biosolids to settle out of liquid to concentrate thickened solids at the bottom of the tank by gravity. A V-notch weir located at the top of the settler allows the filtered water to return to the clarifier while thickened waste water is funneled through a discharge pipe at the bottom of the unit.
Aquatic Artificial Streams
Artificial Streams are aquatic research systems with footprint flexibility (using modular pool and riffle sections) designed for easily replicating desired flow conditions typically used to study physical, behavioral or biological properties while evaluating potential hazards. Specific results from model streams aid in understanding of lotic processes and generation of testable hypotheses, which can be validated in natural stream ecosystems. DT aquatic artificial streams may be operated as partly flow-through and recirculating systems for different developmental stages of diverse and sensitive aquatic communities.
Aquaculture Oyster Setting Tables and Trays
Suitable for small operations and commercially acceptable, DT’s Aquaculture oyster setting tables and trays are designed for use by growers for the initial stages of scallop and mussel spat set on cultch. Constructed to be readily cleaned and fitted with drain plumbing and mesh screen, DT’s tables and trays are generally effective for reliably supporting growers’ seed requirements. In addition they make it possible to identify and select particular strains or race of oyster, which is almost impossible in natural breeding areas. Optional features include insulated walls and lids.
As the largest West Coast Manufacturer of FRP bulk containers, we are sure to have tank options to meet your farm’s needs. For more information on our Fiberglass Aquaculture Tanks for sale and fish farming please contact DT Fiberglass today.
