AQUAGRID®
NETS
Aquagrid®
nets are an environmental containment solution for marine
fish farming, developed by Bishop Water Technologies, in
partnership with TenCate Industrial Fabrics.
Geotube® dewatering technology can be utilized for many Aquaculture
processes. Dewatering can solve the problem of contaminated runoff in
net cleaning and fish farming applications.
As nets are cleaned, the runoff water from the cleaning process is sent
through a Geotube® container. The water is filtered through the
container, and most of the solid contaminants are collected in the
process. This way the nets get cleaned, and the waterways in the areas
stay clean!
Geotube® technology is also effective in collection of benthic build-up
in the bottom of fish cages and tanks, a dredge can remove collected
material from the TenCate fabric lining the bottom of the cage
and be run through a mobile Geotube® dewatering unit returning
clean water to the cage or tank. This solves a key concern of some
environmentalists preventing build-up in cages as a possible source of
infections and other problems.
