Nanobubbles: A breakthrough in RAS efficiency and water quality at Lødingen Fisk Warren Russell, Moleaer
Lodingen Fisk
As the global demand for sustainably farmed seafood grows, Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) have become a pivotal solution for sustainable fish farming. RAS offers the ability to grow fish in closed, controlled environments, but maintaining water quality and oxygen levels has always been a challenge. This is where one of the most exciting breakthroughs in water treatment technology comes in – nanobubbles. These nanoscopic bubbles offer transformative potential for improving water quality and overall operational efficiency. For Lødingen Fisk, an aquaculture facility in Norway, Moleaer’s nanobubble technology was able to

unlock new levels of performance, offering a glimpse into the future of aquaculture by addressing the very challenges that RAS systems have faced for years.
Leading the way in aquaculture innovation Lødingen Fisk, located in Norway’s picturesque Lødingen municipality, is home to more than 1.7 million Atlantic salmon. The facility’s RAS system was designed by AquaBioTech Group, who integrated Moleaer’s Trinity Nanobubble Generator (NBG) after seeing the potential of nanobubble technology to enhance water quality, improve fish welfare, and reduce operational costs.
