What Is Skid System / Sumps?

Skid systems and sumps are essential components of modern aquaculture filtration systems, designed to optimise water circulation, waste removal, and biofiltration.

  • Skid Systems: Pre-assembled, compact filtration units that integrate essential equipment such as pumps, mechanical and biological filters, UV sterilisation, and oxygenation systems. They are commonly used in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) to ensure efficient and consistent water quality management.
  • Sumps: Water collection reservoirs that capture debris, excess nutrients, and solid waste before the water is filtered and recirculated. They act as a buffer zone, preventing waste accumulation and ensuring optimal system stability.

Together, these systems streamline aquaculture water treatment, reducing manual maintenance while improving water quality and fish health.

How They Operate

Here’s a closer look at how these essential components operate to support a healthy and sustainable aquaculture setup:

  1. Improved Water Quality: Effectively removes solid waste, excess nutrients, and pathogens, maintaining optimal water conditions.
  2. Enhanced System Efficiency: Automated filtration and water management reduce manual maintenance and labour costs.
  3.  Scalability & Space Efficiency: Skid systems offer modular, compact designs, perfect for both small hatcheries and large commercial farms.
  4. Better Fish Health & Growth: Stable, well-filtered water reduces stress, disease risk, and mortality rates, leading to higher yields.
  5. Energy & Cost Savings: Integrated filtration and recirculation systems reduce water wastage, making aquaculture more sustainable and cost-effective.
