AQUAMAK Compact Degassing Column
AQUACULTURE FRANCE is launching a new solution dedicated to water treatment in aquaculture: the AQUAMAK degassing column integrated into its own tank with forced ventilation.
Designed for light aquaculture systems (aquaponics), this compact unit efficiently improves water quality by removing unwanted dissolved gases, particularly CO₂, while optimizing oxygenation and overall system performance.
Why is degassing essential?
In recirculating systems (RAS, aquaponics), the accumulation of carbon dioxide can quickly become a limiting factor for fish growth.
Excess CO₂ causes:
- Reduced zootechnical performance,
- Decreased appetite,
- Chronic stress,
- Lower biofilter efficiency,
- Overall deterioration of water quality (acidification).
Effective degassing management therefore becomes a strategic component in securing aquaculture production.
A compact and easy-to-integrate design
The new AQUAMAK degassing column has been designed to simplify installation while maximizing performance.
The system combines:
- A high-efficiency degassing column,
- A compact integrated tank,
- Technical media optimized for air/water exchange,
- Forced ventilation to accelerate dissolved gas extraction.
This configuration delivers more efficient degassing than conventional gravity systems while reducing footprint and on-site integration constraints.
The benefits of forced ventilation
Adding forced ventilation to a degassing column in a RAS system significantly improves dissolved CO₂ removal by increasing air renewal and the gas/water exchange gradient. Extracting stale air also limits the accumulation of humidity and harmful gases around the degassing area. Degassing efficiency remains more stable despite variations in organic load, temperature, or biomass.
A robust and professional solution
Like all equipment selected by AQUACULTURE FRANCE, the AQUAMAK range is designed to meet professional requirements:
- Durable materials proven for aquaculture environments,
- Simplified maintenance,
- Easy integration of a ready-to-install module,
- Reliable continuous operation,
- Adaptability to different flow rates (from 20 to 52 m³/h).
A response to modern aquaculture challenges
Improving water quality is now at the heart of the technical and economic challenges facing aquaculture.
With this new AQUAMAK degassing column, AQUACULTURE FRANCE offers a compact, high-performance solution tailored to the needs of modern farms seeking:
- Safety,
- Stability,
- Performance.
