The Right Dose, Quality, and Capacity: Enhance Your Aquaculture Business with DESMI UV Systems

Discover how DESMI UV systems can revolutionize your aquaculture operations. In this article, we delve into the benefits of DESMI solutions and explore why one of the world’s foremost land-based salmon farmers has chosen DESMI for their water treatment needs.

Why Choose DESMI?

“After a thorough evaluation, we selected a DESMI UV solution for its superior performance against our key criteria,” states Olav Lyngstad, Technical Manager for Biology and Aquaculture at Salmon Evolution. “Also, we value DESMI’s extensive product expertise and transparent collaboration.”

Based in Norway, Salmon Evolution aims to establish a benchmark for sustainable salmon farming in its innovative onshore production facilities. Their 18,500 square meter plant in Indre Harøy was designed and constructed by Artec Aqua, a major player in the industry and a vital partner of DESMI.

Collaborative Excellence

Artec Aqua’s expertise ensures optimal water quality and effective solutions. The collaboration between DESMI and Artec Aqua’s technical team played a key role in delivering this high standard.

“We chose DESMI UV systems based on their professional support during the design phase,” adds Inge Finnes Saunes, Procurement Manager at Artec Aqua.

Reliable and Efficient Technology

UV technology is a proven method for pathogen removal, reducing the risk of viral and bacterial outbreaks. Its chemical-free nature ensures safety for both fish and staff.

To guarantee optimal results, DESMI systems are designed to provide precise UV doses tailored to your specific needs. They are built to last and capable of meeting current and future demands.

The AquaShield and AquaDose UV systems from DESMI are exceptional choices for treating intake, recirculating, or effluent water. Key features include:

• The exact UV dose needed for effective treatment.
• Accurate forecasts for power consumption, keeping both technical directors and CFOs satisfied.

Proven Methodology

DESMI uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling to provide accurate calculations based on real-life conditions—water quality, flow rate, and UV lamp power. The methodology, validated by DNV in 2024, ensures reliable performance at even high UV doses under diverse operating conditions.

Marine Quality Assurance

Developed originally for maritime ballast water treatment, DESMI’s technology is designed for durability and resilience.

“All AquaShield and AquaDose systems are constructed from super duplex steel, making them resistant to saltwater,” states Hans Christian Thisen, Product Manager at DESMI. “This durability ensures continuous operation regardless of salinity and temperature.”

Additionally, over 2,000 ships globally trust DESMI solutions for their ballast water needs, complying with stringent regulations. Should repairs be needed, genuine DESMI spare parts are accessible worldwide and typically shipped within 24 hours.

Capacity That Suits Every Need

In summary, DESMI UV systems provide the optimal dose, maintain reliability under challenging conditions, and offer an unparalleled range of capacity. As Hans Christian Thisen puts it, “One AquaDose unit can process between 35 to 3,500 cubic meters of water per hour.”

If greater capacity is needed, multiple units can be configured in parallel. Despite their high output, DESMI systems have a compact footprint, making installation versatile—whether skid-mounted or as standalone components. They can be integrated with filtration and cleaning systems and include remote monitoring features with full IoT support.

Ensuring Your Business Success

Maintaining fish health is crucial for maximizing production and returns on investment. DESMI UV solutions offer the technological expertise needed to protect your valuable seafood assets.

“We are committed to delivering reliable water treatment solutions tailored to your requirements,” concludes Hans Christian Thisen. “Our UV systems are designed to help keep your business thriving.”
