Salmon Farming Water & Aquaculture Treatment Systems
Sustainable and environmentally-friendly water quality solutions for on-shore and off-shore Salmon farming
Despite the need for sustainable healthy food to service the world’s growing population. Salmon farming faces criticism around a question of sustainability.
Arvia’s Nyex technology provides sustainable advanced water treatment solutions globally to both offshore, and land-based recirculating aquaculture system salmon farming operations.
With seafood markets transforming due to globalisation and in line with the ever increasing demand for sustainable sources of protein. The Salmon Market now stands at an estimated at USD 33.5 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 49.39 billion by 2029. Farming on land has experienced scrutiny over the years, but more recently focus has been placed on aquaculture. Arvia Technology work globally with Salmon farmers in developing innovative solutions to salmon aquaculture challenges.

Arvia Technology Protects Salmon Aquaculture systems
Ensuring the effective treatment of aquaculture water systems is essential for the productivity and success of salmon farmers, fisheries, and manufacturers. Implementing an efficient water treatment solution in a salmon aquaculture system offers significant benefits to both the facility and the fish. Whether the primary motivation is regulatory compliance, profitability, or producing a higher-quality product, every aquaculture facility should prioritise investment in their water treatment system.
Why choose a Nyex water treatment process?
Salmon raised in Arvia Technology treated water have been shown to grow more quickly and exhibit greater resistance to disease. This results in a superior quality product for consumers. Additionally, the aquaculture facility reaps benefits from using properly treated water. Enhanced water quality simplifies operations and reduces long-term maintenance requirements. Moreover, the facility bolsters its sustainability initiatives by achieving high performance within a compact footprint.
The demand for Salmon globally is stronger than ever.
Some of the reasons our clients use Nyex to process their water from salmon farming include:
1
Ethical and sustainable
We know how important it is to protect your reputation and the reputation of the Salmon farming industry. Our technology also allows you to balance and prioritise your environmental obligations with the health and quality of your Salmon..
2
No waste byproducts
No waste products are generated, making it a highly eco-friendly solution. There is no need to halt production for cleaning, nor is there a requirement to handle toxic waste in a confined environment. Our technology enables you to prioritise both environmental and animal welfare
3
Removes organic micropollutants
Our technology has been proven to effectively address hazardous organic micropollutants, pesticides, off-flavours, antibiotics, and colour.
4
No chemical dosing
No nasty chemicals are required meaning that there is no need to handle hazardous chemicals, and no risk of exposing salmon stock to harmful substances
5
Flexible modular system
Our systems are adaptable to your specific needs, enabling you to maximise efficiency while minimising their footprint. This is particularly crucial for offshore systems where space is highly limited. Nyex can be conveniently fitted into shipping containers, complete with all necessary mechanical and electrical equipment.
6
No downtime
The Nyex material regenerates in situ, eliminating the need for costly downtime. This means there is no need to replace the media while out at sea. Additionally, the system can be turned on and off according to demand.
7
Plug and play
The Nyex systems have no moving parts and are simple to operate with just an on-off button.

World leaders in Salmon farming aquaculture
Our solutions for the aquaculture industry are helping Salmon farming across the globe. Every solution we devise for Salmon farms is tailored to the exact needs of the facility. For us to help clean your water, we will need to understand exactly which organic compounds are in the water and what systems are already in place. We will follow the below process shown to support amd determine your individual Salmon aquaculture treatment requirements.
1
Bench testing in our
laboratories
We can test your water against a range of our products to determine the treatment performance and efficiency under different conditions, providing data and insights to support the optioneering process.
2
Pilot testing on your
premises
We can install a pilot plant to assess and develop the treatment process under real operating conditions, and over longer time periods to capture variable conditions.
3
Data driven full scale
design
Data driven full scale design increases certainty over cost and performance early in the project, reducing risk. On-site installation, commissioning, and optimisation support from Arvia ensures maximum return on your investment.
Why Nyex Rosalox™ is ideal for offshore salmon aquaculture
In offshore salmon aquaculture, removing sea lice mechanically often requires transferring the fish into tanks or well boats, where various methods, including heating the water, are used to eliminate the lice. Alternatively, some methods involve the use of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). However, consumers criticise the use of hydrogen peroxide for potentially harming the fish and lowering yield and product quality.
The water used in this process requires treatment before discharge. While granular activated carbon (GAC) is commonly used, it necessitates the complete and regular replacement of the media, which is particularly challenging from a barge or tender.
In contrast, Nyex Rosalox™ requires minimal top-ups and maintenance, making it well-suited for rugged, remote locations. With no moving parts and no need for potentially hazardous chemicals, it is an ideal solution for use at sea.
Why Nyex™ is highly suitable for RAS salmon facilities
Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) facilities are designed to accommodate stock optimally suited to specific environments. However, several challenges exist within these closed systems; the water must constantly circulate and be meticulously monitored.
There is an ongoing risk of significant stock loss due to biosecurity lapses, often necessitating the use of antibiotics or other medicines to counter organic build-up. The active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from these treatments must be removed from the water to prevent microbial resistance. Our Nyex™ systems are ideally suited for removing numerous APIs and endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) down to parts per trillion levels.
Furthermore, fish grown in an RAS may develop off-flavours from compounds like geosmin. While not harmful or toxic, these off-flavours can diminish the value of the harvest. Nyex™ is highly effective at removing these compounds.
The advantages of Nyex™-based systems are evident: no downtime for replenishment, no need to remove sludge, and no chemical dosing required. Additionally, the system requires minimal maintenance and operator intervention, with no moving parts and virtually no consumables – just an annual top-up of media (1 – 3% by volume).
