A recirculating aquaculture system automatically controls ammonia, bacteria, solids, and feed quantity available to a captive species in a closed, water-based habitat. Functionally Independent processing loops operate in parallel on recirculating water streams, to control each of ammonia, bacteria, solids, and feed. The same or similar components, such as an electrolytic cell, may service one or more functional loops.

Recirculating aquaculture system and treatment method for aquatic species

A pressure vessel () accumulates an aqueous stream at elevated pressure and feeds it through a pressure retaining array of passages () in the bottom wall of a modular reaction chamber () that operates at atmospheric pressure. Spaced electrodes () treat the stream during upward flow to the open top of the chamber, where the treated stream overflows the chamber and falls into an inter-wall volume between the chamber and an outside housing (), washing foam from the housing and chamber as it exits. A housing cover () establishes headspace over the chamber to accommodate the overflow. The entire chamber () is removable from the housing () by loosening fasteners () in the bottom wall () and lifting it free, with no impediment due to clogging or corrosion outside the chamber.
