Iceland’s demanding natural environment leaves little room for short-term thinking. When overlooking risks can have serious consequences, long-term planning, reliable technology and durable equipment are essential. The same mindset is reflected in Iceland’s developing aquaculture industry, where several ambitious large-scale projects are taking shape.

At CM Aqua, we are proud to introduce the next era of large-scale protein skimming with the launch of our in-build T-Ratz Protein Skimmers. With a recent delivery for a major salmon RAS project in Japan, a new standard has been set for how dissolved organics are managed in modern recirculation systems.

Njord Aquashipping is commissioning the construction of two advanced well-boats to enhance fish welfare and environmental sustainability in aquaculture operations. Built by Aas Mek Verksted, the vessels are designed for transporting smolt and market salmon. They will feature freshwater delousing systems using self-produced freshwater and space for additional delousing equipment, setting a new standard for efficiency in the industry.

In the quest for sustainable seafood production, effective water filtration is crucial, especially in the challenging environment of warm saltwater aquaculture. Dr. Andrew Whiston, CEO of RAS Technology Ltd is applying HEX Drum filter X²⁴-series made of non-corrosive material for his warm saltwater Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS).

By Philip Haargaard Gyldenkærne, Biologist and aquaculture engineer at CM Aqua.  For the past 10 years, CM Aqua has produced and delivered HEX drum filters and Ratz Protein Skimmers to the Norwegian and global RAS industry, focusing on durability and long-lasting products made from stainless steel and PE (polyethylene) for both fresh and seawater applications…

To further anchor CM Aqua Technologies position as competence centre for particle control and supplier of high quality solutions for aquaculture, further investments are made in Research & Development.

Beltfilters have been supplied to well boats and de-sealicing barges for draining of back flush water from drumfilters and other filter systems in order to reduce volume of loaded water from upstream process water.

Turbulent waters at the mechanical filtration stage will lower the actual filtration result dramatically. To achieve excellent water quality, it is crucial to remove particles rather than crush them.

Beltfilters are in use for various applications, they cover a different range of filtration than drumfilters, as they are the chosen technology at high concentrations of dirt.
