\u201cThe PG-Tornado elevates fish welfare to a different level. The pump has no moving parts that can injure the fish, and a lifting height that by a good margin is suitable for de-lousing vessels, wellboats and processing plants. The fact that Fr\u00f8y chooses this pump in combination with the world\u2019s largest de-lousing system is the best technology confirmation we could get,\u201d said Steve Paulsen, CEO at PG Flow Solutions.<\/p>\n
PG Flow Solutions will supply three of its recently developed PG-Tornado fish pumps to Fr\u00f8y. The pumps will ensure optimal fish welfare and gentle transfer of fish. PG Flow Solutions will also supply a hydraulic drive unit and control system to operate the fish pumps.<\/p>\n
The PG-HydroFlow and PG-Tornado pump systems will be installed on-deck and hooked up to the de-lousing system, which is being delivered by SkaMik.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe aquaculture industry places stronger demands on fish welfare, including gentle transfer of fish. Because it is good for the fish and makes sense financially for the shipowner and fish farmer. This is exactly what PG-Tornado contributes towards,\u201d Steve Paulsen said.<\/p>\n
The pump systems will be assembled and tested at PG Flow Solutions\u2019 fabrication and test site at Sande in Vestfold, Norway.<\/p>\n
PG-Tornado is developed and manufactured in a cooperation between PG Flow Solutions and Smartline AS. The pump is the brainchild of Roy-Arne Breivik and Ben-Tommy Eriksen.<\/p>\n
The PG-Tornado pumps and the additional equipment from PG Flow Solutions will be utilised on board a high-capacity de-lousing vessel that is currently undergoing modifications. The vessel was previously a 70-metre long supply vessel (MPSV).<\/p>\n
\u201cIn fact, in 2005 we delivered various engine room pumps and plate heat exchangers to the vessel, which is now named Fr\u00f8y Challenger<\/em>. Now we will deliver fish pump technologies to the vessel. Both the vessel and PG Flow Solutions are good examples of a successful green transition,\u201d Steve Paulsen added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fr\u00f8y has awarded PG Flow Solutions a contract to deliver the newly developed PG-Tornado fish pump to a de-lousing vessel the shipowner is currently modifying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5728,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-5727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aquaculture"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5727"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5727\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5729,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5727\/revisions\/5729"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5727"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=5727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
