Linde's New Technology to Improve Oxygen Delivery in Sea Cages

Linde Gases has introduced a new technology to improve the delivery of oxygen into fish farming sea cages.

The new system, Solvox DropIn, has been designed for sea cages with unhealthy water conditions due to poor oxygen levels or which require supplementary oxygen.

It can also be used for sea cage oxygenation when treating sea lice, which can damage fish skin through feeding, causing lesions and infections through viruses and bacteria.

The new compact and lightweight oxygenation system with an electric pump and a patented oxygen dissolver would eliminate the need to drag perforated hoses across the cage floor.

This system works by sucking water into the lower part of the unit and mixing it with oxygen. The oxygenated water is then distributed throughout the cage through four nozzles situated at the top.

The Solvox DropIn, when combined with the large surface-to-volume ratio, increases the oxygen dissolution efficiency even at low pressures.

Linde Industrial Segment Aquaculture & Water Treatment head Stefan Dullstein said: "Linde has always played a pioneering role in gas technology within the food production and processing market.

"Solvox DropIn is truly a break-through in oxygen delivery design. We are delighted to introduce it to our customers."
