Oxygen generated on board for healthy fish

Oxygen generator for Norway's fish farming

Three oxygen generators will be delivered this week to a Norwegian fishing company that operates aquacultures in the cold ocean waters off Norway's coasts. In these so-called mari cultures salmon is bred to meet the large food and fish needs. The self-produced oxygen is required for the oxygen saturation of the water basins on board fish trawlers. The fish that are taken from the aquacultures are transported in these tanks. A high oxygen content in the water ensures less stress, improved health and a high quality of fish products.

The three IMT POC 8.800 oxygen generators are pre-assembled on a plate in a steel frame. Pure oxygen from the ambient air is generated in four containers filled with adsorption granules, each with a volume of 1000 liters. Each of the three plants produces up to 90 cubic meters of oxygen per hour with a purity of 93%. The oxygen purity is measured and recorded using numerous sensors. All operating values can be read out and controlled at any time via a large touch control panel or remotely. In this way, the generators ensure the required oxygen saturation of the water basins at all times and without interruption.
