THE TECHNOLOGY

A RAS platform
designed for flexibility.

Oceanloop redefines conventional RAS with a modular raceway system that adapts to species, stocking intervals, harvest sizes and demand — built for low head loss, high water quality and gentle animal handling.

WHY DESIGN MATTERS

Aquaculture is biology. Technology has to stay flexible.

Many conventional RAS farms are designed around fixed round tanks and long pipe systems. As biomass changes, animals often need to be moved, circulation loses energy and hard-to-control zones create quality and welfare risks. Oceanloop was engineered to solve these challenges at the system level.

CORE DIFFERENTIATORS

Not a conventional RAS farm.

  • <0.5%

    Closed Water Cycle

    Oceanloop keeps seawater in the loop and replaces only small losses from solids separation, sludge discharge and evaporation.

  • ~60%

    Low-Head Raceway

    The raceway layout reduces head loss; around 60% energy savings for recirculation vs. conventional design.

  • 4–6 cm/s

    Plug-Flow Design

    A stable, laminar flow improves self-cleaning, water exchange and feed distribution for excellent water quality.

  • 4×/hr

    High Recirculation

    Water is filtered repeatedly and rapidly, reducing daily concentration spikes and keeping conditions stable.

  • Several tanks in 1

    Multi-Batch Stocking

    Movable flow-through walls allow multiple size classes in one raceway for continuous, year-round harvest.

WATER QUALITY

Efficient water treatment, clear water, stable biology.

The Oceanloop water treatment system combines mechanical, biological and chemical processes — drum filtration, foam fractionation, nitrification, denitrification, degassing, oxygen injection, buffer dosing and backwash recycling. The goal is simple: keep water quality stable so animals perform and the product stays clean.

OCEANLOOP CO-PILOT

Digital tools connecting every Oceanloop farm.

Oceanloop is developing digital tools that combine operational farm data, laboratory analytics, sensor technology and computer vision into a single decision-support system. The tools aim to supports biomass estimation, fish welfare monitoring, water quality management, predictive maintenance and energy optimization, helping operators better understand and manage complex biological production systems.

Building on several research projects, including ShrimpWiz and SEADEEP, Oceanloop continues to expand its digital capabilities through AI and data-driven analytics. The objective is to further improve operational efficiency, reduce biological risk and support stable production conditions over the entire farming cycle.

Today, several digital tools are used across Oceanloop's own operations. As the tools continue to evolve, it is intended to connect future Oceanloop farms and, over time, licensed partner facilities, enabling standardized monitoring, operational benchmarking and the continuous sharing of best practices across the Oceanloop network.
