Cooperation between the aquaculture and agriculture sectors with the intent to use animal manure and fish faeces for sustainable production and utilization of renewable energy and recovered nutrients (BIFFIO)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

The BiFFiO project addresses the challenge which both the aquaculture and agriculture industries faces in respects to regulatory requirements and societal requirements for the waste produced, an issue which is in need of sustainable solutions. The concept of the BiFFiO project is to mix the waste readily available from fish farms and manure waste from the agriculture industry in a reactor for prod ...

The development of a deammonification treatment to remove nitrogen from recirculated water used in aquaculture (DeammRecirc)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

The aquaculture industry has been very slow to adopt denitrification methods. Present practice is to convert the toxic metabolic waste product ammonia via nitrite to nitrate in a nitrifying bio-filter. This microbial process demands oxygen and reduces the pH, requiring expensive buffering treatment. The accumulating nitrate is generally flushed from the farm into recipient waters without pollutant ...

"Development of an automatic process of in-house collection, storage and application of adaptive bacteria culture for fish farms." (ADAPOND)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2011,

"Evidence from recirculation systems shows that new starters experience 30-80% loss in sales almost unavoidably in the first year during the adaption period of a biofilter, accompanied by the failure losses from fish medication and seasonal depressions counting summingly for more than €70-90M annually in Europe. Low reliability of biofilter systems are considered the main reason why people avoid e ...
