ABOUT US
The project aims at investigating the efficiency of a smart purification system to improve water quality, fish production and environmental sustainability in aquaculture systems, through the remediation of nitrogen containing compounds in water and the biocidal action of a TiO2-based photocatalytic treatment. In detail, the project aspires to develop an innovative photocatalytic reactor, by modifying the traditional filters used in aquaculture, to obtain a new low cost generation filter for fresh and sea water purification. This innovation, consisting in the application of plates covered with a TiO2 photocatalytic film in front of the UV lamps already installed for sanitization in the tanks for aquaculture, will largely increase the effects of lamp irradiation.
