Utilizing their patented pumping station (US Pat. 5,681,146), Future SEA Technologies Inc. has developed the highly efficient Upwelling Pump™ for the special needs of the aquaculture industry. The intent of this pump is to provide more suitable water to net pens when adverse conditions are present and to provide water circulation in bodies of water or large tanks.
Benefits:
- High efficiency and low operating costs (70,000 lpm @ 9 kW)
- Simple and low maintenance
- Lightweight - easy to transport from site to site (approx. 590 kg)
- Large dispersion of water
- Hydraulic or electric motor
- Adaptable to existing net pen systems (steel or plastic)
- Year-round performance
- Provides it's own floatation
Applications - Water dispersion will allow for:
- Assistance during hazardous algal blooms (surface)
- Oxygen supplementation
- Ice control
- More desirable water temperatures
- Active circulation of water for site remediation
- Control of water conditions with the use of plankton tarps
- Waste water applications
