SENECT Success
SPECIALIZED IN RECIRCULATING AQUACULTURE With SENECT, we have created a comprehensive control system that is suitable for many aquaculture applications, but which is particularly effective in recirculation systems. This development was only possible thanks to important experience in the construction and operation of recirculation systems, but also through cooperation with partners from fish farming practice and science.

We operate our own recirculation system which incorporates further practical findings into our product development and tests all new developments in real applications.		 RELIABLE PARTNER FOR THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF FISH FARMING Success in technical aquaculture can only be achieved if all the individual building blocks function. Our competent team is happy to devote itself to the wishes and ideas, but also to the problems of our customers, and thus we work out functioning solutions.

RECIRCULATING AQUACULTURE SYSTEMS

CONCEPT, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
The principle of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) is straightforward and logical: The water in which the fish swim is treated and can thus be used multiple times. This not only significantly reduces water consumption by more than 99%, but also opens up entirely new possibilities. Important water quality parameters such as oxygen can be optimally adjusted, temperature can be controlled, and the closed circuit largely prevents the introduction of pathogens.
  • Optimal environmental conditions ensure best growth and fish health
  • The closed system prevents the introduction of diseases (biosecurity)
  • Predators are excluded
In addition to these benefits, recirculating technology makes it possible to produce fish and shellfish almost independently of location, close to the consumer.

The disadvantages of RAS compared to traditional aquaculture methods, such as trout farming in flow-through systems or salmon farming in net cages at sea, include a higher degree of technological sophistication, greater energy consumption, and higher investment costs.		 For the success of aquaculture enterprises, it is essential to assess site factors individually to ensure the economic viability of the planned business. For example, investment costs for a flow-through system can be higher than for a comparable recirculation facility.

SENECT continuously works on the further technical development of recirculation technology and combines individual elements into complete systems. However, our customers' success is based on a combination of a solid concept, the resulting technology, and good management.

Based on our know-how and practical experience—even from operating our own recirculation facility—SENECT offers the creation of viable concepts and the technical planning of aquaculture projects.
