Veolia Water Technologies is ‘Challenging the Status Quo’ at 2016 Aquaculture Innovation Workshop
Veolia aquaculture expert, Marius Hægh, will present the innovation and industrialization of land-based aquaculture operations at the 2016 Aquaculture Innovation Workshop.
Hægh’s presentation, “Challenging the Status Quo – Opportunities for Innovation,” will feature the latest advancements of land-based modular recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) for full-size salmon. Recent enhancements in water treatment of conventional recirculating aquaculture systems will be shared, as well as project case studies of successful large-scale smolt and post-smolt facilities.
“Veolia is
excited to participate in an event dedicated specifically to the recirculating
aquaculture systems,” said Marius Hægh’s, Vice President of Aquaculture at
Veolia Water Technologies. He adds, “Advanced land-based fish-farms are a
solution in creating a high-quality food source that is not only safe, but also
environmentally sustainable.”
Veolia
will also be exhibiting its new RAS2020 technology at the workshop’s tradeshow.
The RAS2020 system is a module-based recirculating aquaculture system designed
to maximize production, minimize operating costs, and reduce construction
costs.
The workshop, which is hosted by The Conservation Fund, is scheduled for August 19-21, 2016, in Roanoke, Virginia. Attendees include aquaculture industry stakeholders from around the world who are dedicated to advancing the technologies and best practices in sustainable fish farming.
About the Aquaculture Innovation Workshop
The Aquaculture Innovation Workshop (AIW) provides an
opportunity for aquaculture producers, scientists, engineers, aquaculture
industry suppliers, regulators and investors to communicate progress on the
technical, biological and economic feasibility of culturing fish – particularly
salmon – to market size in land-based closed-containment systems using
recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) technology. These “International Summits
on Fish Farming in Land-Based Closed-Containment Systems” have been hosted by
The Conservation Fund Freshwater Institute, Tides Canada, the Gordon and Betty
Moore Foundation, and the Atlantic Salmon Federation.
