The international seafood exporter expects the new plant to remove over 95% of organic contaminants from its wastewater.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith world seafood production now topping 170 million tons \u2013 both from fisheries and aquaculture \u2013 there is obviously great scope globally for GWE technologies such those adopted by Indian Ocean Tuna to deliver a more sustainable environmental outcome. This plant sets global benchmarks for environmental outcomes and commercial sustainability,\u201d said GWE.<\/p>\n
Minimises green impact<\/strong><\/p>\n The GWE plant uses treatment processes including its Anamix\u2122 anaerobic waste digester to achieve outstanding discharge qualities and convert a mixture of wastewater and sludge into biogas, which can later reduce a company\u2019s dependence on fossil fuels and minimise its environmental impact.<\/p>\n By extracting biogas (primarily methane) from the organic waste removed, the fish processing plant can save more than 2,000 kg\/d of fuel oil, worth about US$1,000 per day.<\/p>\n Application of an anaerobic digester such as Anamix and mechanical dewatering by means of screw press also contributes to significant reduction in disposal costs and lower landfills requirements for solid waste, said GWE.<\/p>\n It stated that \u201cbiogas-producing green energy plants such as this can help pay for themselves. So there is a strong business profitability case to support companies wishing to act in an environmentally responsible manner.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Indian Ocean Tuna Ltd has installed a Global Water & Energy (GWE) aerobic and anaerobic digestion plant at its seafood processing operation in the Seychelles to process wastewater and depending on how it is utilised, to provide biogas, which has the potential to replace fossil fuels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":588,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-587","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/587","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=587"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/587\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":589,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/587\/revisions\/589"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=587"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
