Optimar has launched a new wastewater management system designed to improve compliance, sustainability and operational control across aquaculture and seafood processing facilities.
The OptiFlow fully integrated flow-through wastewater management system has been introduced to help fish farmers and processors meet tightening environmental regulations while improving treatment efficiency before discharge.
The company said growing regulatory scrutiny is reshaping operational priorities across aquaculture, noting that “water management is no longer a secondary consideration, it’s a core part of responsible operations.”
Wastewater requirements
Developed for slaughtering and seafood processing plants, the solution automates treatment processes to deliver controlled handling of wastewater, improved oversight and scalable deployment across facilities of varying sizes.
In markets such as Norway, untreated wastewater discharge is prohibited, requiring producers either to clean water onsite or transport it for external treatment.
Similar regulatory developments are anticipated across the EU, increasing pressure on seafood processing operators to demonstrate environmental accountability.
OptiFlow enables contaminants to settle prior to treatment, reducing solids entering later stages and limiting the need for disinfectants while supporting compliance with environmental standards.
Optimar said the system allows aquaculture businesses to transition from reactive wastewater handling toward predictable, process-driven wastewater management. By integrating treatment directly into daily operations, the company aims to reduce environmental impact while maintaining production efficiency.
The company is undergoing a significant expansion of its international footprint. In January, it secured a major aquaculture contract to supply harvesting and slaughtering equipment to a new fish farming project in Kazakhstan, marking the company’s first delivery to the country.
