In the outdoor pond facility, problems arose with leaking dykes, plumbing and gate valves. The complete water supply and water drainage systems were redesigned and overhauled. Part of the solution was to install the pumps on purpose built pontoon instead of installing them on the high ground. As a result, the research ponds are now simpler to operate and power consumption has been cut to 50%.
","date":"2015-2017","intro":"To test newly formulated fish feeds and try new aquaculture fish farming techniques, de Heus requested a highly innovative research centre. In 2015 ACE constructed several closed research systems. The systems were set-up in such a way that allows flexibility towards the type of experiments and fish species. As a follow-up project ACE was asked in 2017 to modify the outdoor pond system

Recirculating Aquaculture Systems rely on different water treatment techniques to maintain an optimal water quality for the fish. The interest in recirculation farms is still growing and the filtration techniques are constantly evolving.
\r\nThe urge for RAS started when the demand for intensive aquaculture increased. RAS makes it possible to produce large amounts of fish with a small footprint and a minimal amount of water. Currently the water use of recirculating systems can be as low as 0.3 m3 water / kg feed resulting in an hourly degree of recirculation of >99%.
\r\nTo be able to maintain proper water quality a cascade of water treatment steps need to be installed in the farm. System set-ups can change per species, but the main treatment processes consist of mechanical filtration, biological filtration, CO2 removal, O2 addition, recirculating pumps and some form of disinfection. In addition to this it is important to be able to control at least the pH and temperature of the water. Fish can be grown faster and with a better food conversion ratio compared to extensive fish farming because of this high amount of control over the water parameters. Furthermore, farming in a closed system on-land results in increased bio-security and a higher flexibility in site selection.

\r\nACE started as an aquaculture consulting company. Through the years the activities have shifted towards the design and construction of fish farms and fish farming equipment. ACE operates from two offices and two workshops in Mill. The workshops are fully equipped for design and production of plastic and stainless steel products.
\r\nDesigning of fish farms and -equipment is done by a team of engineers that work with state of the art software. The workshop works hand in hand with the engineers to optimize the final products. In this way we are able to make custom-made designs and work fast and flexible. The building and designing of reliable and energy efficient fish farms is one of the main focusses of the company.
\r\nProjects can be supervised from the initial drawings up to farm completion and training of staff. For the large projects abroad, we work with local construction companies and a local work force. During the years ACE has done numerous projects and studies in different countries in the world and gained a lot of knowledge about a wide variety of fish as well as various other aquatic species.
