Manual- vs automated data collection
On many fish farms, several water quality parameters (including toxic free CO2) are only measured manually at fixed times or in selected tanks. The water quality is fluctuating daily and are often following rhythmic patterns. With this method, you will often miss the peaks and therefore create a misleading result of a satisfying, stable CO2-level. This white paper compares and analyzes two ...

Magnetic particle treatment for irrigation water greener, better, cheaper, faster
The wells of central California are the main water source to sustain agriculture in the region, but the brackish water contains high concentrations of total dissolved solids (TDS) in general, and geologically occurring recalcitrant elements - like boron - in particular. Boron is hard to remove using membrane technology such as Reverse Osmosis, and Ion Exchange is quite burdensome in cost, ...

Tackling Fish Farm Sediment Issues with the Weedoo SiltSucker
Fish farm sediment issues can be a major headache for people engaged in aquaculture. The accumulation of silt and sediment, a process referred to as siltation or siltification, over time can reduce the volume of a fish pond to the point where fish farming is no longer viable. There are also other negative potential impacts depending on what’s in the sediment that accumulates. If the silt is ...
