Keeping fish warm with CHP

Date posted: 19th September 2023

PowerLink’s cogeneration units are extremely versatile products which can be used across multiple different industries and satisfy the heat and power needs of our customers, including those in the aquacultural sector.

Self-sustaining fish farming

We recently received an enquiry from European customer seeking a cogeneration unit that can help provide heat and power to their fish farm. After consulting with our team, the decision was made by the customer to opt for one of our CG series.

These containerised units, which are powered by natural gas can provide 520kw of electrical power and 647kW of thermal power to the customer’s aquaculture property.

Why would a fish farm need a cogeneration unit?

By utilising the heating element of the water to heat up the pools at the farm, a consistently heated water temperature is proven to help the metabolic function of most fish species, especially one bred at fish farms. Simultaneously, the electrical element of the cogeneration unit can provide power to all necessary areas of the fish farm, making this particular fish farm a self-sustaining.
