ELOXIRAS®

THE TECHNOLOGY

Increasing the productivity of your RAS

Watch video

ELOXIRAS® is an innovative process for the treatment and reuse of marine and brackish water, developed to enhance productivity and reduce the environmental impact of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS).

Based on electrochemical oxidation technology, the objective is to convert total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) to N2 gas, avoiding the generation of nitrite and nitrate, and eliminating the need to use biofilters. 

Additionally, thanks to its great disinfectant efficacy, specific disinfection technologies, such as ozone or ultraviolet can be omitted.

KEY COMPONENTS

Fundamental elements to implement ELOXIRAS®

Regeneration of the water to be treated requires only a minimum salinity of 3 ppt and the application of an electric current, eliminating the need to add chemicals, gas or heat.

STAGES OF THE TREATMENT

Integration of ELOXIRAS® into your RAS

1

Pre-treatment: filtration & foam fractionization

Solids, fats, and organic nitrogen removal.

2

Main treatment: electrochemical oxidation

Ammonia, nitrate, organic matter, and pathogens removal.

3

Post-treatment: adsorption & degassing

By-products removal and gas balance.

MARKET APPLICATIONS

Transforming the future of aquaculture through a wide range of applications

Considering its market applications, ELOXIRAS® is commercialized in three series (MINI, HYBRID and LOGISTIC), covering its integration in research facilities to logistic operations. Thanks to this, we offer our clients the possibility of creating a customized product adapted to the specific needs of their RAS.

MINI

Designed for small RAS facilities such as research centers or small hatcheries. It offers a compact and flexible system, with an adaptable treatment capacity from 1 to 30 kg feed/day.

More information

HYBRID

Focused on full scale RAS facilities such as grow-out farms. It helps to increase productivity and reduce water consumption. It has a treatment capacity from 50 to 600 kg feed/day.

More information

LOGISTIC

Aimed for transport operations by truck or wellboat from hatcheries to grow-out farms. It offers greater autonomy for longer distances, allowing a biomass capacity from 2,500 to 390,000 kg.
