Degassing Tower Solution for Fish Farming and Aquaculture Applications
The Degassing Towers enhance gas exchange by removing unwanted gases, primarily carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen (N₂), and reducing total gas pressure (TGP) in the system. The units are fabricated from polypropylene (PP) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which are suitable for harsh operating conditions.
Pre-filtered water is distributed from the top of the tower and flows downward. At the same time, air is introduced to create a counter-current flow, maximizing gas transfer efficiency. This process enables effective CO₂ stripping and overall gas removal, contributing to stable water quality.
Our degassing towers operate based on the crossflow principle and are designed to meet different process requirements. The systems are available in atmospheric and vacuum configurations. In addition, an automatic washing (auto-wash) option can be provided to ensure easier operation and maintenance.
MAT-KULING degassing tower design includes a service hatch on top, a side manway, support gratings, a level indicator, a drain valve, and brackets for a stilling well on the external side of the tower. Each unit is hydrostatically tested during production and after completion to ensure structural integrity and leak-tightness.
Components of Degas Towers
The assembly components are fabricated to maintain high resistance to corrosion from sea/saltwater in contact. Indicative material used for fabrication:
- Food grade PP with a minimum thickness of 5 mm for the body of the tower
- Side manway &observation of the window made from acrylic
- Bolts & nuts from Delrin
- Valves from uPVC
