Case Studies

OPTI-TEMP-TANK

Opti-Temp-Tank aims to develop an integrated system for cost effective temperature control in aquaculture tanks. The modular constructed thermally insulated land based fish farming tank will incorporate a temperature control system powered by biogas, generated through anaerobic digestion of the waste biomass resulting in an innovative new tank that will enable the optimum production of any type of fish, anywhere in the world.
