WHY AQUAPONICS?

The world is fast approaching a farming revolution…

• Water and energy shortages, urban food deserts, and pollution of soils and waterways are driving a need for sustainable farming of nutritious food.

• The world’s population has more than doubled in the past 50 years to over 7 billion; estimated to reach 10 billion by 2050.

• The rise in demand for protein cannot be met by wild fishing.

• Exploding urbanization and rising incomes will drive over a billion people into the consuming class by 2025 with considerable spending power. A disruption necessitating an investment boom in efficient buildings and infrastructure.

• Aquaponics uses only 2% of the water required in conventional farming with minimal space requirements while providing fresh, locally-grown produce.

Aquaponics is the future of farming…and Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems is committed to accelerating the commercialization of these innovative systems.

Salmon Smolt production in Norway

• Approx. 308 million smolt per year

• Average weight of 105g

• 32 340 MT production

• 32 340MT of feed used

Trout production on land

• Appox. 18 million fingerlings per year

• Average weight of 115g

• 2 070 MT production

• 2 070 MT of feed used

Use of waste products

• Limited or no reuse of waste products

• Discharge directly to environment under

scrutiny

• Political action pending

NORWEGIAN POTENTIAL

CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL

FISH CULTURE TANKS

UV DISINFECTION

Let us consider a facility producing 100

MT of salmon smolt of 100g:

• 1 million Smolt

• Average daily feed 275 kg

• Potential to produce 28,000 -41,000 heads of

lettuce (salathoveder) per week

• Would need a 5,000 m2 plant growth area

• Water can be reused in Smolt facility

NORWEGIAN POTENTIAL

CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL

FISH CULTURE TANKS

UV DISINFECTION

Fresh water potential:

• Yearly feed 34 410 MT

• Average daily feed 94 273 kg

• Potential to produce 9.6 -14.1 million heads

of lettuce (salathoveder) per week

• Would need a 171 hectares plant growth

area

Net Pen potential:

• Yearly feed 1.1 million MT

• Average daily feed 3 million kgs

• Potential to produce 298 - 437 million

heads of lettuce (salathoveder) per week

• Enough to feed the world!

NORWEGIAN POTENTIAL

The challenges in using this potential:

• Use of space

• Indoor facilities with artificial light can cut

the use of space with up to 80%

• Temperature

• Intelligent design of water distribution

design

• Know-how

• Here we can help

• Management of plant section

• Team up with experienced greenhouse

growers

• Light

• Artificial lights (LED) is now a mature

technology with 10 year lamp time

warranty

THE CHALLENGES

CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL

FISH CULTURE TANKS

UV DISINFECTION

Reuse

• Reuse of waste product

Reduced discharge

• N and P discharge can be greatly reduced

• Better and clearer water in recipients

• Possibly easier to obtain environmental

permits

Limited resources

• Dwindling Phosphorous stocks can make

it a necessity in the future to reuse

• Consumer awareness on green

production

• Green Blue production

• Natural cycle

• Organic?

Value adding of existing product

• Can be used to brand already existing

ACHIEVE CLIENT’S GOALS, THEN BEGIN INSTALLATION

Hamm’s brewery aquaponics

• Approach• Design is executed in distinct contractual phases• With each phase, project definition increases while project cost uncertainty decreases. • At the end of each phase, the Owner is provided the opportunity to review the

development of the design, evaluate total project costs, and provide direction and feedback.

• We recommend that the design phases be completed prior to fixing the prices for supply of components and support services.

• Benefits• Allows accurate costing prior to fixing the price, reducing the need for contingencies to

offset risk• Allows the Owner to separately contract installation which prevents compounding costs • Design decisions are mutually arrived at with the Owner which reduces high cost change

orders post-contract. • Final product reflects Owner preferences which ultimately results in greater owner

satisfaction

SUCCESS STORIES: URBAN ORGANICS

URBAN ORGANICS PENTAIR GROUP, LLC• Urban Organics and Pentair entered a unique collaboration to accelerate

commercial scale modern aquaponics.

• 1st venture: Urban Organics renovated the Stockhouse No. 3 building used by Hamm’s brewery Co. The building was transformed into an 850 m.2fully-operational aquaponics farm brought to life by Pentair’s products & services.

• Next venture: UOPG scaling Hamm’s project with the purchase of former Schmidt’s Brewery building in St. Paul, MN. UOPG will renovate 8,700 m2 into an operation producing 150MT fish and 200 MT produce annually.

• Facilities built for education and training as well as demonstrating the design, equipment and business model required for a successful operation.

• Pentair will be your full partner helping your investment be a success. Hamm’s Urban Renewal

After Renovation

Before Renovation

A HISTORICAL BUILDING HAD FALLEN INTO DISREPAIR

• Create a fish and plant production system within the city

• Provide advantages of lower capital costs and subsidies for redevelopment of existing building

• Develop a system that produces fish and plants at rates to meet market demand

GOALS FOR THE URBAN ORGANICS PROJECTTAKE UNPRODUCTIVE URBAN STRUCTURES AND MAKE THEM PRODUCTIVE AGAIN

Transform an abandoned spaceinto a productive facility
