Description
Skyhaven Systems, LLC intends to develop a novel water treatmentsystem targeted for use in removing nitrogen fromrecirculating aquaculture systems. Limitations of currentsystems include sensitivity to low temperatures, require a multi-step processfor effective nitrogen removal, have long start-up times, produce turbidity during recycling, and are expensive to scale in size/capability. The proposed system will be electrochemically based utilizing non-precious metal catalysts and a novel radial flow-thru reactor design. The system design is modular and readily scaled.The Phase I effort will demonstratethe proposed system can effectively reduce thecontent of nitrogen in waste water. A single module reactor will be built and characterized. A preliminary scale-up design and a corresponding manufacturing cost analysis of the system will be performed.
