Aquaculture is an essential industry that provides a significant portion of the world's seafood supply. However, maintaining the water quality in fish tanks and aquariums is a vital aspect of aquaculture that can be challenging. Harmful pathogens can have devastating effects on fish health and production. The use of antibiotics to control these pathogens can negatively affect water quality and the environment. This is where UV-C disinfection comes in as a sustainable and effective solution.

The VGE Pro UV systems are a reliable and safe form of water treatment that ensures a healthy living environment for fish by disinfecting water. After a filter system removes all solid dirt particles from the water, UV radiation inactivates the remaining microorganisms, making the water safe for reuse. The result is clean and clear water without the need for antibiotics or chemicals.

UV-C technology has been used for years in aquaculture, including hatcheries and fish farms, to guarantee a higher survival rate and occupancy rate. Additionally, a VGE Pro UV system can remove harmful ozone residues added for oxidation before the water is returned to the fish tank.

In combination with hydrogen peroxide, UV-C technology can ensure an Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) that removes micropollutants such as geosmin and 2-MIB, saving time and reducing the loss of the product. VGE Pro UV systems can be used in both fresh and saltwater and are supplied in a closed reactor or via an open channel system for high flows without loss of pressure.

These systems can be used inside a RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture System), used for biosecurity for new intake water or in an aquarium LSS (Life Support System). In summary, the VGE Pro UV system is a sustainable and effective solution to maintain water quality in aquaculture, ensuring healthy fish and clean water without the use of harmful antibiotics or chemicals.
