Advanced Depuration Solutions: Optimizing Water Quality for Marine Life

Depuration (or purification) refers to the process whereby shellfish such as mussels and oysters are placed in specially designed filtration systems to purge physical impurities (e.g. sand) and biological contaminants (e.g. E. coli), reducing bacterial levels to below set thresholds prior to human consumption and making the shellfish safer to eat. Studies have shown that customers will prefer to pay a higher price with the guarantee of cleaner depurated oysters over a cheaper more risky undepurated alternative. 

Our complete plug and play Small Scale Shallow Tank Depuration system has been designed according to the Seafish standard design, ensuring that strict operating guidelines are met and resulting in faster official certification of facilities. 

We are also able to supply pumps, flow meters, and UV sterilisers for any customised depuration system requirements, as well as protein skimmers and ozone generators to further enhance water quality. The YSIDO200 handheld meter is widely used for spot-checking dissolved oxygen levels, and for those requiring continuous monitoring and control equipment; the Senect range is a powerful tool to monitor, control, log, and provide alarm notifications, as well as remote access via a smart phone. 

Where clean seawater is not available, our synthetic sea salt can be used, and in applications using ozone, we have a low bromine salt available too.
