UV disinfection system for aquaponics / aquaculture / freshwater fish farming

Aquaculture techniques such as fish farming and aquaponics require water quality sterilization. UV treatment is a water purification technique that can be used for freshwater. Ultraviolet technology is harmless to the marine world and highly effective in sterilizing water. In this way, the crops live in a healthy environment and greatly reduce the outbreaks of disease that crops can suffer.

If you’d like to equip yourself with an efficient disinfection system for aquaponics / aquaculture / freshwater fish farming, our full range of freshwater UV reactors can be viewed online, and design can be carried out on this page.

Disinfection system benefits

In addition, producing healthy water, without any risk of contamination by microorganisms, UV water treatment is also part of an environmental approach:

For your health, water treatment without the addition of harmful pool products guarantees allergy- and respiratory-risk-free swimming (non-chemical).
It also provides additional value for the environment, ensuring crystal-clear, odor-free water.
The absence of chlorine makes for a safe, environmentally-friendly process.
UV treatment represents cost savings, thanks to extended plant lifetimes and simple, reliable, long-lasting equipment.
Last but not least, the system can be installed and maintained quickly and easily.

Design advice: UV disinfection applied for aquaponics / aquaculture / freshwater fish farming

On the UV reactors for fresh water page, many solutions are proposed (up to a unit flow rate of 130 m3/h). For higher flow rates, up to 130 m3/h, please contact us!

Select “Freshwater “
Select the water source to be potabilized, e.g. “Aquariums and freshwater ornamental ponds”.
Enter the flow rate to be treated (for example 25 m3/h)
Adjust the cost of electricity in your country (for example 0.09€ for France; 0.23€ for Germany)
Leave 30 mJ / cm² (or adapt)
Specify the water temperature (normally between 5 and 40°C is sufficient)
Please enter your email address, we will send you the design right away

In any case, to ensure optimal disinfection and to determine whether prefilters are necessary, it is recommended that a source water analysis be performed with these parameters:

Iron
Hardness
Turbidity
Manganese
Suspended solids (TSS)
UV Transmittance
