PTG FrioNordica has secured a contract to supply heat pump systems for Nordic Halibut’s new land-based farming facility in Torjulvågen, Norway.
The project will support energy-efficient heating and cooling at the integrated aquaculture site, enabling increased production capacity and advancing sustainable aquaculture through modern aquaculture technology.
“Land-based aquaculture places high demands on stable temperature control and energy-efficient operations and this is where our heat pump solutions add significant value,” said Johnny Valle, sales and marketing director at PTG FrioNordica.
Fully integrated
Nordic Halibut is developing a fully integrated land-based farming facility that consolidates multiple production phases at a single location.
The site forms part of its long-term growth strategy, targeting annual output of up to 10,350 tonnes.
PTG FrioNordica’s delivery includes two industrial heat pumps using ammonia refrigerant, alongside heat exchangers, pumps and a PLC-based control system to optimise temperature regulation and energy use.
The systems are designed to provide both cooling and heating of process water, incorporating heat recovery to reduce overall energy consumption.
Components include FrioEco HP1500 and HP2000 heat pumps, titanium wastewater heat exchangers and variable frequency-driven circulation systems.
The collaboration between the companies dates back to 2010, reflecting a long-standing partnership in aquaculture technology deployment across Norway. Nordic Halibut said the solutions will ensure stable operations and efficient energy use at the new site.
By improving energy efficiency and temperature stability, the development underscores the role of land-based farming in reducing environmental impact while supporting scalable aquaculture production.
