PROJECT DESCRIPTION
CONTAINERIZED SEAWATER DESALINATION solving water for AQUACULTURE
INDUSTRIAL
AQUACULTURE
- SHRIMP FACTORY -
This project was built to deliver treated water to a Lab of Shrimp reproduction and genetic Improvement Center
THE PROBLEM
Shortage of purified water, so well water had to be bought in tankers, and therefore increased costs in the production process. The client was looking for a way to reduce costs by optimizing their processes. The cost of water and its transfer to the plant represents a high impact in production cost.
The solution
ARKQUA® Customer acquired two ARKQUA systems, each capable to produce 132,000 GPD (500m3d) of purified water. Each system is mounted inside a 40' container, fully automatic. Integral Clean/flush system automatically flush piping and membranes with fresh water at shutdown. This subsystem is also utilized for periodic chemical cleaning of the membranes.
THE RESULT
Reduction of production costs by 50%, in addition the extra load driven by having to receive water distribution trucks loaded with water daily. Production time was significantly optimized, and water quality used for the development of nauplii and larvae was considerably improved. Having remote monitoring of the plant is a great benefit that allows to take proactive actions and minimized the risk of failure.
