SELF-CONTAINED HYDROGEN POWER SYSTEM FOR SMART FARM
Disclosed are a system and method for managing a self-contained hydrogen power system for a smart farm. The system may include a self-contained hydrogen generation unit configured to purify intake-water, generate clean hydrogen through water electrolysis, generate energy through a fuel cell by using the generated clean hydrogen, and store the energy, and a farm environment control unit configured to receive, from the self-contained hydrogen generation unit, energy for driving a plurality of sensors and devices for producing aquatic products and control an environment for producing aquatic products.
Aquarium System
An aquarium filtering and purifying system includes an upper display tank and a lower filter tank. The water from the upper tank can be delivered to the lower tank to a filter, such as within a surrounding filter fabric or membrane, such as a filter sock. An air tube can also be inserted into the filter tank to an unfiltered side of the filter, such as within the filter sock, to deliver air bubbles into the filter tank. The air tube can have an air stone at the end thereof to diffuse the air bubbles. Further air stones can be provided on an outside of the sock in the first compartment. Filtered water is delivered to a second compartment in the filter tank. The next compartment can have sand, and/or rocks and/or algae and/or a clean-up crew to assist in purifying the water. Water from the second compartment then passes to a third compartment, through a bubble trap, and then is pumped back to the display tank. Alternatively, the first compartment can be provided with a macro algae bed instead of a filter sock.
CO2 Gas Supply by Means of an Aquarium Pressurized Gas Vessel With a Nutrient Substrate
The present invention relates to an aquarium pressurized gas vessel for supplying an aquarium (12) with CO2 gas generated in the aquarium pressurized gas vessel (10), wherein the aquarium pressurized gas vessel (10) comprises: a receiving vessel (14) for receiving a nutrient substrate and a reactant interacting with the nutrient substrate such that the nutrient substrate and the reactant react with each other to generate CO2 gas; a closing device (16) for closing the receiving vessel (14) in a pressure-tight manner; a gas outflow device (18) for extracting CO2 gas from the aquarium pressurized gas vessel (10) for the aquarium (12), wherein the CO2 gas has a gassing pressure (p_B) when flowing into the gas outflow device (18); a gas vessel pressure regulator (20) for adjusting a gas vessel pressure (p_G) which substantially corresponds to the gassing pressure (p_B).
Further, the present invention relates to a CO2 gassing system (28) comprising the aforementioned aquarium pressurized gas vessel (10).
CIRCULATING AQUACULTURE FACILITY FOR SALTWATER PONDS
Provided is a circulating aquaculture facility for saltwater ponds. The circulating aquaculture facility comprises a cultivation tank, a division plate vertically arranged in the cultivation tank to divide an inner cavity of the cultivation tank into a left inner chamber and a right inner chamber; a water inlet pipeline, water in the water inlet pipeline enters the cultivation tank through the left rectangular through hole of the cultivation tank; an outlet pipeline, sewage discharged from the right rectangular through hole of the cultivation tank is capable of entering the outlet pipeline; and an oxygen supply device which delivers oxygen to the inner bottom of the cultivation tank.
MULTI-STAGE OXYGEN ABSORBER INSERT FOR CONCURRENT STRIPPING OF CARBON DIOXIDE
A low head oxygenator system includes one or more chambers, each of the one or more chambers having an open top and one or more distribution plates, each distribution plate disposed over the open top of a corresponding one of the one or more chambers. Each of the one or more distribution plates has a predetermined number of orifices uniformly distributed within one or more zones of the respective distribution plate and no orifices in at least one remaining zone of the respective distribution plate. The oxygenator system further includes a container, disposed on top of the one or more distribution plates, and configured to allow a liquid contained in the container to flow through the orifices of the one or more distribution plates into the one or more chambers. Further, use of the distribution plate frees up the head-space region for a scrubbing insert configured to perform stripping.
HIGH EFFICIENCY WATER DISTRIBUTION PLATE DESIGN FOR ENHANCED OXYGEN TRANSFER
A low head oxygenator system includes one or more chambers, each of the one or more chambers having an open top, and one or more distribution plates, each distribution plate disposed over the open top of a corresponding one of the one or more chambers. Each of the one or more distribution plates has a predetermined number of orifices distributed within one or more zones of the respective distribution plate and no orifices in at least one remaining zone of the respective distribution plate. The oxygenator system further includes a container (e.g. trough), disposed on top of the one or more distribution plates, and configured to allow a liquid contained in the container to flow through the orifices of the one or more distribution plates into the one or more chambers.
WATER CIRCULATION AND AERATION SYSTEM FOR AQUACULTURE FACILITY, RELATED FACILITY, METHODS AND USE
A circulation and aeration system 10 for an aquaculture facility including an elongated reservoir for cultivating aquatic species is provided. The system includes a number of vertical manifolds distributed along the length of the reservoir through an interconnecting piping and arranged to generate a number of adjacent rotating liquid flow patterns by injecting aerated water into the reservoir via exhaust ports, wherein each the pattern forms an individual rotating flow cell, and wherein the system further includes at least one airlift pump configured to supply the aerated water into the manifolds. Related facility, methods and uses are further provided.
METHOD FOR RAISING FISH IN A RECIRCULATED AQUACULTURE SYSTEM
The present invention relates to a method of raising fish in a recirculated aquaculture system which includes a fish holding unit in fluid communication with a water supply, the fish holding unit containing a volume of water defining a water depth, and having an osmotic concentration, an oxygen concentration, a temperature, and a pH. The method includes providing a flow of non-recirculated water to the water supply, the non-recirculated water being different from the water in the fish holding unit with respect to the osmotic concentration, the oxygen concentration, the CO2 concentration, the N2 concentration, the NH4+ concentration, the temperature and/or the pH, providing feed pellets, adding the feed pellets to the non-recirculated water and hydraulically transporting the feed pellets to the fish holding unit. The invention also relates to a RAS facility.
