As can be seen from NTNU's analysis of costs for land-based fish farms, the item "Energy cost" is very high.
No wonder, as there is a need for large amounts of fresh seawater for the facility.
The estimate from NTNU is calculated for a 6,000 tonne facility.
As one can see, there is also a very high post called "oxygen". This is because the plant is intended to recover the water, and this requires the supply of oxygen.
We have invented a WaterBooster that can reduce these records considerably.
The actual energy cost of pumping fresh seawater to the plant can be reduced by 70%!
And with enough fresh water, one can possibly avoid recycling and thus eliminate the "oxygen" item.
This is what a prototype of our WaterBooster looks like in a small format:
As the estimate to NTNU shows, the mentioned items total approximately NOK 44.1 million.
If we can eliminate the need for oxygen, and reduce energy costs by 70%, the costs could be reduced from 44.1 million to
under 10 million kroner!
Our WaterBooster has been tested in several contexts, and is also part of the principle of our innovative propulsion system for boats.
