Practical Aquaponics South Africa
Cape Town
Practical Aquaponics South Africa integrated Soldevco’s Ultra-Oxygen Micro and Ultrafine Bubble Generators to improve water quality and system efficiency in their aquaponics operations. The primary challenge was maintaining stable dissolved oxygen (DO) levels, crucial for fish health and plant growth. Soldevco's energy-efficient bubble generators were strategically installed at key water circulation points to ensure optimal oxygen distribution. This led to improved water quality, enhanced microbial activity, reduced fish mortality, and increased plant yields. Additionally, energy consumption decreased due to the efficiency of the generators, while stabilized oxygen levels reduced maintenance needs. Practical Aquaponics South Africa has fully endorsed the technology, incorporating it into all new system designs and updating training manuals to highlight its benefits.
The system saw a reduction in energy use by up to 40%, saving 15-20 tons of CO2 annually. It also eliminated the need for chemical oxygenation, reducing waste and water contamination, while improving water quality and conserving thousands of liters of water each year. Economically, the solution reduced monthly energy costs by $500 to $2,000, with a payback period of 12 to 18 months and an impressive ROI of 150-200% over three years.
The patented Ultra-Oxygen Micro and Ultrafine Bubble Generators enhance oxygen levels in water, supporting healthier ecosystems and more efficient processes in agriculture, aquaculture, and wastewater treatment. Micro and Ultrafine bubbles are not just any bubbles; they have a charged surface that can perform electrochemistry and oxidative reactions. It represents an advanced aeration technology that effectively oxygenates the entire water column, offering water treatment engineers and farmers the unprecedented potential to attain remarkable outcomes.
