Acclimatization is a critical process to minimize
osmotic shock to marine organisms so as to reduce
post shipment mortality. Our acclimatization
facilities comprise of a variable speed control
pump, an integrated electronic controllers and
an external filtration system complete with
protein skimmer, mechanical, biological filtration,
UV sterilization, chilling capacity of up to
5000 litres (1320 gallons). This “invention” was
realized after many experiments. The variable
speed control pump controls the rate of acclimatization
such that the marine organisms can gradually
adjust to our local environmental conditions.
The purpose of integrated electronic controllers
is to regulate the water parameters. The parameters
include pH, temperature & oxidation reduction
potential (ORP). Last but not least, the entire
acclimatization setup is supported by a comprehensive
filtration system to ensure high-quality water
throughout the acclimatization process. Each
shipment requires at least 4 hours of acclimatization
and the marine organisms are left to quarantine
for at least another 20 hours before they are
transferred to the holding tanks. The applications
have by far proven to be reliable, efficient
and effective. The results are further substantiated
by the cost saving of reduced mortality. |
