AgriMarine has assembled a team of experts in all aspects of design, implementation, maintenance and husbandry of salmon in closed rearing environments. Some of the features of the AgriMarine System™ include:
• Scalable floating system – tanks range from 3,000 m3 in operation, 5,500 m3 currently in design phase
• Neutral buoyancy able to withstand tidal and current loads
• Variable depth intake draws water from below level of harmful algae blooms
• No re-recirculation of water in the rearing system, therefore eliminating the need for ammonia removal technologies
• Electric powered, lessens the dependence on fossil fuel
• Fecal material and waste feed are removed through a waste separator, screening and filtration process
• Solid waste has the potential for sale as a plant nutrient
• Real-time monitoring system analyzes water quality
• Automated controls adjust oxygen inputs and pumping rates and provides notification alarms for ranges outside normal operations
All systems have backup systems in place as part of operational protocols:
• An oxygen generating system will be used to supplement dissolved oxygen in the tank environment and liquid oxygen tanks will be used as backup
• Diesel generators will be used in the event of primary power failure
