Puroxi industry centre
Oysters & Shellfish
Shellfish applications demand careful attention to water exchange, oxygen, biofouling, suspended solids and local food-safety requirements.
Understanding the application
Water Conditions Affect the Complete Operation
Puroxi does not begin with a product. We begin by understanding where the water comes from, how it moves through the site, what it contacts, what has already been tried and what the operation needs the water to do.
Oxygenation and circulation
This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.
Biofouling management
This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.
Nursery and holding systems
This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.
Monitoring and regulatory verification
This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.
How Puroxi approaches the water
A Site-Specific Treatment Pathway
Water testing and technical review
Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.
Treatment selected around the complete system
Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.
Compatible equipment and operating controls
Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.
Performance verification and refinement
Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.
Potential Puroxi treatment tools
Technologies Are Selected for What the Water Requires
Treatment areas
- Oxygenation and circulation
- Biofouling management
- Nursery and holding systems
- Monitoring and regulatory verification
Technologies that may be considered
- Puroxi Nano Bubble Nozzles using ambient air, oxygen or another approved gas
- Puroxi Oxygen Generator for suitable on-site oxygen supply
- Quattro ultrasonic algae control where the water and biology are suitable
- Puroxi Oxygen Booster through a controlled water-test-based protocol
- Ultrasonic scale prevention, filtration, dosing, aeration and circulation
A technology appearing on this page does not mean it is suitable for every site. Puroxi may recommend one treatment method, a combination of independent systems or further testing before equipment selection.
Information required
What Puroxi Needs Before Recommending Equipment
Good design depends on accurate site information. Reports, photographs, drawings and operating history help prevent assumptions.
- Current water report
- Flow, volume, pressure and temperature
- Drawings, photographs and existing equipment
- Problem history and treatment objective
Relevant parameters may include temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, conductivity, turbidity, hardness, alkalinity, nutrients, organics, metals, microbial information and algae identification, together with the process-specific information required for this industry.
Monitoring and verification
Measure the Water and the Operating Result
Baseline and follow-up water data
Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.
Equipment operating conditions
Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.
Site-specific performance indicators
Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.
Maintenance and operating records
Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.
The Puroxi process
Test. Design. Treat. Verify.
- Characterize the source and the operating problem.
- Define the objective, limitations and applicable requirements.
- Design the hydraulic, gas, treatment and monitoring arrangement.
- Commission, document, evaluate and refine the programme.
