Pisces Engineering have supplied many heating systems to the aquaculture industry. All systems are designed around two basic designs. The first is a simpler system and involves installing the boiler system and letting the farm outlet water go to waste. The second design uses heat a recovery system, where the outlet water from the system is passed through filters and then heat exchangers to reduce operating costs. Although such systems are higher on capital costs, they have lower operating costs. All our boiler only systems are designed to enable heat recovery to be added on at a later date without major interruptions to the system. 

As far as possible, our heating systems are built at our factory, either in refurbished shipping containers or on skid mounts so they can be easily transported and plugged in on site. This keeps costs down as there is less site work required.

Small System Solutions

In addition to large boiler systems, Pisces Engineering have, over the years provided many small scale solutions to marine and freshwater hatcheries and aquaculturists requiring only a small heat input using electrical immersion units and localised control units.

Chillers are required in aquaculture for many applications from slowing down egg development, keeping temperate species cold in recirculation systems and providing cool water in the summer months to equipment such as ozone generators. 

Our chiller systems, much like our heating systems, are designed for each application and can be tied in to heat recovery units to gain the maximum efficiency.

Modern chiller systems are very reliable and can be located either in or outside, in fact, in the right location, the heat vented off by the chiller as it cools the water can be used to either heat another source of water, or to heat buildings etc.
