RAS for Shrimp Farming
Biosecure clear-water and hybrid RAS solutions for intensive Litopenaeus vannamei production with improved disease control and predictable harvest cycles.
Suitable For
- Species: Litopenaeus vannamei, Penaeus monodon
- Regions: Southeast Asia, Middle East, Latin America
- Customers: Shrimp farm investors, Existing pond operators upgrading to RAS
Main Challenges
- •Disease outbreaks in open pond systems
- •Inconsistent growth and survival rates
- •Water exchange limitations
- •Complex biofloc management burden
- •Limited traceability for export markets
Recommended System Logic
Shrimp RAS emphasizes biosecurity zoning, fine solids control, stable biofiltration, precise oxygenation, and strict water disinfection protocols. Multi-phase nursery and grow-out loops are often separated to reduce pathogen pressure and improve batch management.
Key Modules Included
Mechanical Filtration
High-capacity drum and micro-screen filtration for reliable solids removal in commercial RAS loops.
Biofiltration
Moving bed and fixed film biofilters engineered for ammonia and nitrite control under commercial feed loading.
Oxygenation
High-efficiency oxygen cones, diffusers, and injection systems for commercial stocking densities.
UV / Ozone Disinfection
UV and ozone systems for pathogen control and biosecurity in commercial RAS loops.
Automation & Monitoring
PLC/SCADA panels, sensor networks, and alarm logic for reliable commercial RAS operation.

Water Recirculation
Continuous movement of water from tanks to treatment systems.
Mechanical Filtration
Removal of solid waste and uneaten feed particles.
Biofiltration
Biological conversion of toxic ammonia to less harmful nitrates.
Degassing
Stripping out excess carbon dioxide (CO2) from the water.
Oxygenation
Dissolving pure oxygen to support high stocking densities.
Disinfection
UV or Ozone treatment to eliminate pathogens.
Temperature Control
Maintaining optimal thermal conditions for specific species.
Monitoring & Return
Automated parameter checks before returning clean water to tanks.

Case Reference
Shrimp RAS Project Story
High disease pressure and inconsistent results in open pond production led the client to seek a biosecure indoor RAS with clearer batch control and export-oriented traceability.
A clear-water RAS with segregated nursery and grow-out loops, enhanced mechanical filtration, biofiltration sized for shrimp loading, UV/ozone disinfection barriers, and centralized monitoring for critical parameters.
