Equipment · Recirculating Aquaculture System

The Single Tank Design.

Conventional RAS means many tanks, long pipe runs, a big building and a big crew. The Single Tank Design puts it all into one CFD-validated tank-in-tank unit that recirculates over 94% of its water — so you build for less and run with fewer people.

Why it matters

Less to build. Less to run.

Conventional RAS
  • Many separate tanks and long pipe runs
  • A large building for the same volume
  • High build cost per cubic metre
  • Pumping losses across the whole loop
  • A large crew for round-the-clock operation
Single Tank Design
  • One tank-in-tank unit with 95% less piping
  • 15–20% smaller footprint with the octagonal geometry
  • About 30–35% lower investment
  • Under 2 kW per kg of fish (excl. heat)
  • 24/7 operation with a 3–4 person crew

What's inside

Proven where it matters.

Tested & CFD-validated

Biofilter, flow and bottom-drain design proven in the field and in simulation — not theory.

Closed-loop, low piping

Site-dependent 90%+ recirculation and ~90% less piping.

Fresh, salt, any climate

Cold or warm, freshwater or marine; multi-species ready.

AI-driven water quality

Ships with Suderra Edge: an AI-assisted live water-quality panel for fast, data-driven decisions.

Fully automatic feeding

Scheduled, self-dosing feed delivery across every tank.

Species-adaptive tuning

Stocking density, water velocity and biofilter sizing tune dynamically per species.

24/7 with a lean team

The whole site runs around the clock with a 3–4 person crew.

Uptime & IP-secured

Service without downtime; proprietary, protected design and software.

Scale scenarios
