Eco-Friendly Farming System with Enhanced Fish Welfare
At SIFT Group’s Technology Division, we’re unveiling the future of aquaculture with our groundbreaking modular cell system, which has been filed as a word patent.
Our innovations combine the best of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and raceways in a unique, LEGO-like setup that’s set to transform the industry.
Superb fish quality.
In the farm’s raceways, the fish swim continuously in a countercurrent of up to 50 km per day, prioritizing muscle over fat body accumulation, much like their wild counterparts, which are highly preferred by taste-seeking chefs and consumers.
Prioritizing Aquatic Welfare and Sustainability
The cell structure creates ideal living conditions for different species, promoting healthier and faster-growing fish. The temperature and oxygen levels are optimized, and water is continuously purified of waste particles, toxic gases, and metabolites.
Our advanced RAS technology ensures:
• Consistent water quality
• Optimal temperature control
• Efficient waste management
• Low risk as each cell unit is independent of other cell units.
Efficiency Redefined: The modular cell concept.
Our state-of-the-art system is built around the compact, self-contained cell modules that integrate RAS technology with a uniquely designed raceway system.
These modular cells work together seamlessly, allowing for:
- Minimizes the need for new water to only 5% of the system water and feed spill
- Lowering the site costs by increasing fish density and vertical buildings.
- Optimized internal resource usage by fully automating and using AI
- Scalable production capacity
- Customizable farm layouts
Like LEGO bricks, our modular cells can be arranged and rearranged to suit specific needs, making expansion or modification of the aquaculture setup a breeze. The cells can be stacked up to 10 independent levels, ensuring space efficiency and reducing energy consumption by pumping water mostly horizontally.
Standardization of modular cells with raceways and RAS units enhances cost efficiency in the manufacturing and assembly of new farms.
Automation System
Our modular cell system takes automation to the next level:
• Interconnected cell units allow for centralized control
• Smart sensors in each unit provide real-time data
• Automated feeding and maintenance routines reduce human interference
This level of automation ensures consistent, high-quality production while minimizing labor costs.
Sustainability at the Core
The combination of RAS and our unique cell unit design results in:
• Significantly reduced external supplement water to about 5% daily.
• Minimized environmental impact through a dewatering system that removes solid waste for bio-energy production and fertilizers.
Applicable to all fish species that like to swim in counter streams
SIFT’s innovative, land-based fish farming concept for Atlantic salmon is also applicable to other fish species raised in animal-friendly vertical raceways, enabling higher densities and improved cost efficiency compared to traditional land-based farms. SIFT Solution offers modular cell technology to fish farmers globally.
