FISH AND FLORA

Aquaponics is a field which combines the practices of fish culture with growing of plants. Nutrients from the fish loop (which are harmful for the fish but beneficial for the plants) can be transferred to the plant loop in an optimized manner, without interfering with the stringent parameters for the two fields of operations.

ENHANCING NUTRIENT EFFICIENCY WITH SWT TECHNOLOGY

SWT is involved in a project in Portugal to supply a water treatment unit to an Aquaponics facility. The goal of the installation is to ensure better nutrient use within the fish and plant loops and the ability to reduce the intake of fresh water into the Aquaponics system. Initial tests were conducted in Norway at Ecunor Aqua, wherein SWT’s unique and patented technology found a good fit for this application.
