The battle against sea lice is the biggest problem facing the salmon farming industry worldwide. The lice breed very quickly in the dense biomass environment of a salmon farm and their numbers grow exponentially. The damages and potential death inflicted by lice on the farmed salmons cause an estimated yearly global loss of up to €880 million, reducing dramatically the profitability of the fish farms.
Proteon A.I. systems utilize a combination of fresh water treatment, targeted LED pulses & specific sonic pulses. Proteon A.I. systems are designed to adapt to changing climates, conditions and different types and sizes of fish stocks.
A Proteon A.I. system is a self-sustaining renewable energy-powered sea parasite prevention system which doesn't use any chemicals.
The salmon farming industry is continually looking to find new approaches and effective methods to improve the management of sea lice – including both medicinal and non-medicinal approaches. Our design incorporates several non-chemical approaches, contained within a solar powered floating unit.
01. The fish enters the Proteon A.I. system
02. Desalinated water and aeration is applied
03. Dirty water is flushed through
04. Secondary cleaning tube
05. Desalinated water with thermal break
06.
Variable Proteon Photonic L.E.D. treatment
07. Final chamber with Proteon Sonic treatment.
08. Fish exits back to enclosure
09. Water is recycled back to desalinator
10. Desalinated water flows back into the system
