Normex secures contract for Razone plant to Nordland Akva<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\u00c5lesund-based Normex is to deliver a Razone water treatment system to smolt producer Nordland Akva. Due for delivery this month, with subsequent commissioning, this unit will help to improve water quality in the first feeding department.<\/h5>\n

Located at \u00c5m\u00f8ya in Mel\u00f8y local authority in northern Norway\u2019s Nordland county, Nordland Akva is a subsidiary of aquaculture company Egil Kristoffersen & S\u00f8nner.<\/p>\n

Ultra-modern<\/h6>\n

Nordland Akva\u2019s ultra-modern smolt facility comprises five recirculation units which can run on salt water from the sea or fresh water from the Skarsvannet source immediately above the plant.<\/p>\n

Operations manager Per Egil Haugan at the company reports that it emphasises secure water supplies at all times, and maintains a high level of intake-water treatment. It also gives great weight to recycling water so that a lot can be produced from a small source.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the large good sources are already in use, but recycling will allow us to help Norwegian aquaculture to expand as planned,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s the very important that the recirculated water maintains the best quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nordland Akva is located at \u00c5m\u00f8ya in northern Norway. Nordland Akva\u2019s smolt facility can run on salt water from the sea or fresh water from the Skarsvannet source immediately above the plant.<\/em><\/p>\n

Increased particles<\/h6>\n

This is where Normex\u2019s Razone system comes in. One of biggest challenges faced when raising fish in recirculation plants is that the quantity of particles in the water can increase. These in turn may reduce water quality and thereby fish welfare, as well as causing sedimentation in piping and suction wells.<\/p>\n

With Razone, water is treated in a sidestream through a two-stage process. Microparticles, microorganisms and micropollutants are removed to give optimal water quality and make it clearer, while improving fish health, biosecurity and fish welfare.<\/p>\n

Haugan also emphasises the importance of controlling the addition of ozone to the facility. By injecting ozone in a sidestream via the Razone system, rather than the whole water stream, he sees benefits in terms of safety for both farm personnel and fish.<\/p>\n

Challenge<\/h6>\n

He says it can be a challenge to optimise water quality at an early stage (the first feeding department) in the smolt facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had challenges with gill infections when first feeding starts, since there can be a lot of waste and particles in the water then. The Razone system removes the particles and helps to improve water quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opportunities<\/h6>\n

Sales manager Michael Vadseth at Normex sees big opportunities for Razone in both existing facilities which want to do something about water quality and all the new installations now being planned on a large scale for both smolts and grow-out fish.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very gratified at the opportunity to deliver our Razone system to Nordland Akva,\u201d he says. \u201cThis is a go-ahead company which wants to make constant progress, and a facility which many people therefore visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven its reputation and location, it\u2019s very favourably positioned as reference in a region where we see an exciting market for our solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
