Compressors and blowers for onshore and offshore aquaculture

From onshore to offshore aquaculture, operators of fish farms depend on a reliable supply of compressed air. A short downtime of a blower or compressor can lead to mass mortalities. Kaeser blowers and compressors for aquaculture applications, ensure maximum process reliability and therefore minimise downtimes. That’s why we’re proud to say that Kaeser Compressors is the preferred supplier of air products to the aquaculture industry!

Applications

Kaeser compressors and blowers can be found in action supplying an energy efficient and reliable supply of compressed air to a variety of critical aquaculture applications, including:

  • Sea Pen Aeration (SPA)
  • Sea Pen Oxygenation (SPO)
  • Bubble curtain systems
  • Air-lift mort and sludge removal systems
  • Feed barges
  • Pneumatic fish feeding
  • Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs) mitigation systems
  • Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS)

Kaeser products

Kaeser manufactures special products for the aquaculture industry that are tailored to withstand the rough conditions on fish farms. When it comes to meeting the compressed air requirements of the aquaculture industry, Kaeser presents a number of solutions including;

Rotary screw compressors

Rotary screw compressors are the preferred choice for aquaculture applications requiring a constant pressure over prolonged periods such as; supplying PSA oxygen generators with compressed air, forming bubble curtains against algae or jellyfish incursion, and creating artificial upwelling in order to lift cool water from deeper layers up to the surface. Compressor reliability and efficiency is therefore essential. 

All Kaeser rotary screw compressors feature the Sigma Profile rotors which provide energy savings of up to 15% compared with conventional rotor profile designs. In addition the Sigma Profile screw compressor blocks boast an exceptionally long service life. 

The extraordinary reliability of Kaeser products, along with comprehensive service coverage, makes Kaeser the preferred air solutions provider for aquaculture applications.

Portable compressors

Portable compressors

Mobilair portable compressors deliver compressed air whenever and wherever it’s needed - even under the toughest offshore conditions. From the smallest to the largest portable unit, all Mobilair portable compressors include advanced, energy-saving engines and heavy-duty chassis.

Blowers
DBS, EBS and FBS series screw blowers from Kaeser Compressors

Low-maintenance and extremely reliable, Kaeser blowers deliver pressurised air quietly and efficiently. Kaeser blowers can be found in multiple aquaculture applications including pneumatic conveying of feed, and aeration of bio-filters and ponds. 

Depending on your specific requirements, Kaeser offers two different concepts

Rotary lobe blowers; featuring the efficient, three-lobe Omega blower blocks for minimal pulsation effects 

Rotary screw blowers; featuring the energy-saving Sigma Profile - designed by Kaeser for optimal pressure and output. Rotary screw blowers can save up to 30% energy compared to similar root blowers

The benefits of aeration and oxygenation to aquaculturists

KAESER Know How blog post: Utilising compressed air in aquaculture - The benefits of aeration and oxygenation to aquaculturists

From the impacts of rising sea temperatures, to algae blooms and jellyfish blooms, in this blog post we look at how compressed air can be used to mitigate these challenges, thereby contributing to more sustainable and environmental aquaculture practices.

The benefits of air-lift mort and sludge removal systems to aquaculturists

KAESER Know How blog post: Utilising compressed air in aquaculture - The benefits of air-lift mort and sludge removal systems to aquaculturists

Fish mortalities and the accumulation of sludge are both troublesome but unavoidable by-products of aquaculture. In this blog post we look at how compressed air is being used to provide an effective, efficient and reliable solution.

Why compressed air efficiency and reliability matters to onshore aquaculture

KAESER Know How blog post: Utilising compressed air in aquaculture - Why compressed air efficiency and reliability matters to onshore aquaculture Part 1 Waste removal

Onshore aquaculture - using a Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) - is growing at speed thanks to its environmental, sustainable and highly predictable production credentials. In these blog posts we look at some of the key roles in a RAS that require compressed air and explain why an efficient and reliable supply is so critical to its overall success.
