Osland Settefisk

Business case listing

The facility consists of two departments: Start-feeding and Grow-out. Each department has its own separate water treatment system, running on clean freshwater.


In addition to this, the facility has vacuum-run equipment for dead fish transport and a sludge treatment system to dewater the waste sludge. All the equipment is under observation via cameras placed in each department hall.

Major components:


The Kaldnes® RAS water treatment system consists of four major process components:

Mechanical Particle Separation

The Hydrotech™ drumfilters remove particles and suspended matter from the water, both from fish feed and fish feces

Biological Filtration

Dissolved and particulate organic matter and ammonia are degraded by bacteria and microorganisms in a two-stage Kaldnes® MBBR biofilter.

Degassing

Carbon dioxide produced by fish respiration is removed in a centralized CO2  degasser. 

Automation

The entire facility, including the water treatment systems, lighting, oxygen and heat, is monitored and controlled by Veolia’s operating control system. 

Footprint

The two Kaldnes® RAS systems together have a capacity of 1.556 kg daily feeding, with a total hydraulic capacity of 2.875 m3 /h. They occupy a footprint of 176 m2  (including the switchboard) which is a mere 12% of the total hall area.

Duo Eclipse™

In many industrial processes, any dissolved salts in water can cause problems. Removing all the dissolved salts from water is called deionisation or demineralisation. Duo Eclipse™ two stage deionisers remove up to 98% of total dissolved solids and will typically produce water with a conductivity of less than 20 μS/cm. Flow rates from 0.25 to 4 m3/hr.
