Saqua – The Saudi Aquaculture System Factory, is the first closed water treatment and recycling systems (RAS System), For high biomass fish production projects in freshwater, salty water and aquaponics systems, both traditional and LED culture.
in addition to studies, design and manufacturing, SAQUA offers the tasks of implementing & operating projects, and after-sales services such as training and development of projects without interruption.
- The main goal of RAS is to maintain high water quality optimized for specific fish type to achieve excellent health and growth rates.
- To maintain high water quality, the levels of certain substances must be controlled. These substances include Oxygen, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrates, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, salinity, waste solids.
- Majority of these toxic substances are the product of decay from the solid wastes. This is the reason why solid waste must all be removed as much as possible. A good mechanical filter can remove these wastes.
- After removing solid wastes, we use biofilter to process the ammonia and nitrites and convert it to nitrates which is far less toxic. Carbon dioxides are then removed by a degasser. Aeration adds oxygen to the system which is greatly needed by the fish and the biofilters
- The water is then sterilized to remove pathogens in the water. The sterilization process employs Ozone, and UV systems to destroy these bacteria. The water is now fully cleaned and recirculated back to the fish tank.
