Technical leader

L. Goardon

Period

2012 - 2014

Budget

€80,000

Objectives

This project aims to set up a system for treating waste from recirculating systems to render it usable by professionals. We will test a system for extracting usable solid matter via filtering and decanting and soluble matter via biotransformation in constructed wetlands.

This work forms part of the current goal of decreasing the ecological footprint of fish farms, meeting wastewater norms established for fish farms and attaining water quality objectives in receiving watercourses.
