In aquaculture, water quality is key. AFM ® (Activated Filter Media) by Dryden Aqua is already well known for its success in intake filtration, hatcheries and wastewater, it is now showing its benefits in RAS.
When filtration falls short, biofilters become overloaded, increasing the risk of disease and compromising fish health. AFM ® offers a smart solution by removing the organics before they reach the biofilter.
Unlike traditional media, AFM ® filters down to 1 micron and in a side loop, after the drum filters, reduces sludge buildup and keeps biofilters focused on their core job - the nitrification of toxic ammonia. AFM ® breaks the vicious cycle of regular pH drops, rising dissolved oxygen (DO) demand, excessive sludge buildup, turbidity, ammonia spikes, and pathogen outbreaks.
The result?
- Reduced mortalities and deformities
- Improved ozone/UV effectiveness
- Stable pH and DO levels
- Healthier stock and higher yield
- Reduced viral and parasite problems
AFM ® boosts biosecurity and system stability, reducing stress on both, your fish and operations. With AFM ®, sustainability and productivity are no longer a trade-off, they go hand in hand. |
