Recirculating Aquaculture Systems: Introduction to Components and Design Basics

Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS), There is a growing interest in recirculating aquaculture systems. Commercial scale RAS require substantial investment and high levels of management skill. For these systems to be profitable they often run at high intensity which often translates to high risk. Regardless of the scale of the system, the necessary system processes and components are often similar. Designing a system requires significant planning and should not be taken lightly. This webinar will provide a general overview, component selection options and functions including where and where to integrate specific pieces of equipment into an RAS design.
Huy Tran, senior biologist and co-owner of Aquatic Equipment & Design, Inc. He has 30 years in the aquaculture industry, as a farm manager to system designer/integrator of RAS. He worked in the aquatic toxicology industry, managed multispecies (29) broodstock and hatchery production, producing aquatic organisms for testing. He has worked on turnkey aquaculture education systems and Aquaponics designs for the Aquatic Eco-Systems catalogs and sale from 1997- 2014. Developed and spearheaded Aquaponic and RAS markets globally for AES.

I'm really Thankful to you. Being a system designer of RAS . This presentation really helps us to figure out the issues and resolve it. They are plenty of systems designs availabilities but correct design as per considering correlation factors like
Species
Density
Climatic conditions
Market
Availability of resources
Many .... etc. Thank you so much for your valueble time conducting this type of best presentation videos . Please do few more videos to empower our Aquaculture field to next level.
Special 🤝 Thanks to David cline and Hiu Tran.

Excellent overview for someone who had little knowledge of RAS systems beforehand. Huge thanks for sharing!

I'm an indonesian farmer, only have 2 tilapia fish pond using RAS system. Nice explanation sir. Thx.

[@Pearly313]

Extremely informative, please keep these videos coming!!!!

Excellent explanation on RAS..the most I liked is oxygen options to increase DO..

[@clinedj1]

Glad it was helpful!

Can i use nano bubble pump in a RAS system? For tilapia

[@CraigMullins1]

What epoxy do you use?

[@leecoleman822]

Can we use plant as degassing material to remove C02 in the water?

[@sparklife4059]

hi, i want to no more about the polyethylene beads. kindly share the link and from where i can purchase the same.

[@mattolsson8816]

Strange to not see pH as one parameter to be measured continuously.. I would imagine pH should be managed with a pH controller and dosing system to keep it stable..

[@clinedj1]

Matt, that is a good point. I am sure this it taken into consideration in "high end" applications""

In a small cat fish farm if am using ras how many times do I change my pond water

[@clinedj1]

Are you recycling pond water through a tank(s)? Most RAS systems are closed loop and not generally open to the environment pond water. To answer your question, it depends..... on the species the stocking levels, the age of the fish and other factors. Some systems are exchanged 4-5 times per hour while others may only be exchanged 6-8 times per day. If you are talking about a significant pond size that would mean moving a LOT of water. There is not one size fits all answer. I would like to contact Huy you can do so through his company web site www.aquaticed.com/

[@elsonsti]

i think the hard part is denitrification process. Nitrification process is much easier.

[@nomanrais2719]

Plz add me to future webinar’s …

[@jaideepsangle]

What is the project cost for this RAS project

[@clinedj1]

Very difficult to say. Huy showed examples from many different systems. Drum filters alone cost from $7000 to $70,000 dollars You might find some helpful information at srac.tamu.edu/categories/view/24
