Space Requirement:
Aquaculture section: 8,2 m x 10,2 m
Hydroculture section: 12,0 m x 10,2 m
Total area: 20,2 m x 10,2 m
Hydroculture section: 12,0 m x 10,2 m
Total area: 20,2 m x 10,2 m
The length of the hydroculture gives you an annual production capacity of 27,440 salads (10 month production). It can be adjust to optimize production or space requirements.
Production Capacity Fish:
The 4 aquaculture modules of the system consists of optimized filter tanks,
4 growout tanks (total 7,9 m³ water) and
4 juvenile tanks (total 2,6 m³ water)
4 growout tanks (total 7,9 m³ water) and
4 juvenile tanks (total 2,6 m³ water)
Depending on the fish you want to produce, the maximum production capacity varies considerably:
- African Catfish (280 kg/m³ density): 8,9 to p.a.
- Tilapia (100 kg/m³ density): 2,2 to p.a.
Construction Method:
The filter system, the growout and the juvenile tanks are made of wood with with inserted liner bags. The coupling tank is an underground tank. The greenhouse is typically made of a steel structure with isolated foil. As an alternative glass greenhouse can be used.
The floor of the hydroculture section can be made of concrete or less solid materials like gravel or laying plates. The hydroponic grow beds are usually made of wood and fitted with liner bags.
Material Costs:
The material costs to build this system can be estimated between 130,000 and 150,000 Euros based on prices achievable in middle Europe.
As many customers build the system themselves, labor is not included in this cost estimation.
Climate / Temperature Conditions:
The system is designed for the usage in areas with moderate or cold climate.
The system consists of 4 isolated modules that are coupled with each other and the hydroculture beds. Each module can also be operated alone. The heating is not part of the implementation documentation.
