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.
