Collection of organic waste

Sludge

Removing the particles quickly and gently, before the larger particles break up, is key for effective sludge collection. The particles are removed continuously and directed to the filter placed at the collar of Egget®. The system uses one filtration stage with no chemical flocculants or additives.

The pilot Egget® surprised us with its sludge collection- it was more effective than assumed during the design phase. The feed conversion ratio indicates that there has been very little feed spill and the system has managed collecting a greater amount of feces.

This was achieved through the design of Egget® and the sludge system, and using customized feed, but was also supported by good fish health.

This is a benefit for both the water quality inside Egget® and the surrounding environment. We see this as a potentially huge resource for circular economy!
