Aquaculture
Heat exchangers for recirculating aquaculture systems and seawater process loops.
Use cases
- RAS heat recovery
- Seawater heating and cooling
- Hatchery temperature control
Recommended products
Typical operating conditions
- Process media: seawater, freshwater, RAS process water, heat-pump loops
- Temperature range: 2–40 °C typical
- Design pressure: typically 6–10 barg
- Continuous 24/7 operation with biological load
Common engineering challenges
- Biofouling and organic loading on heat transfer surfaces
- Chloride corrosion in seawater and brackish water
- Gentle temperature control to protect livestock
- Ease of cleaning and inspection during maintenance windows
Recommended materials & construction
- Titanium Gr.1 plates for seawater and brackish water
- AISI 316L for freshwater RAS loops
- EPDM gaskets matched to disinfectants used on site
- Frame components rated for humid, coastal environments
Typical delivery scope
- Duty sizing based on RAS or flow-through system parameters
- Cleanable, easily openable plate pack
- Optional oversized channel for low fouling
- Delivery of spares for periodic gasket / plate replacement
Ranges shown are indicative for this industry. Actual design is confirmed per project against your duty sheet.
