Pipeline Design Elements of Recirculating aquaculture System (Part 2)

2025-01-13

Above we have discussed the importance of pipeline design and circulating water pipeline system, this article will further elaborate the core elements of pipeline design, pipeline maintenance and other content.


Second, the core elements of pipeline design


Material selection: Pipe material needs to have corrosion resistance, high pressure resistance, easy to clean and other characteristics. Common materials are PVC, PE, stainless steel, etc. These materials can not only effectively resist the erosion of chemicals and microorganisms that may exist in the breeding water, but also ensure the long-term stable operation of the pipeline. Then choose different materials according to different uses.


Layout planning: The layout of the pipeline needs to fully consider the location, size, quantity and location of the water treatment area. Through scientific and reasonable layout planning, it can ensure that aquaculture water can be evenly and quickly transported to each aquaculture tank, and it is convenient to transport waste and abnormal water quality to the return water treatment area for treatment in time.


Flow control: In pipeline design, it is necessary to set flow control devices reasonably, such as valves, flowmeters, etc. These devices ensure that the flow and pressure of the aquaculture water can meet the needs of the individual aquaculture ponds, while facilitating real-time monitoring and adjustment of the operating status of the system.


Emergency design: In order to ensure the stable operation of the system in unexpected situations, the pipeline design also needs to consider emergency measures. For example, in emergencies such as power outages, equipment such as standby generators and emergency oxygenation devices can be used to ensure that aquaculture water can continue to circulate and avoid damage to aquaculture organisms caused by deterioration of water quality.

Three, pipeline maintenance


Pipeline maintenance: The circulating water pipeline system is installed in the pipeline trench, from the bottom to the top is the drainage, return water, water intake, water supply and oxygen pipeline, supported by stainless steel bracket, each layer of pipelines should be left enough space for maintenance and operation.


Keep the outdoor water refill pipe away from direct sunlight. In icy areas, the water supply pipe is mostly PE material, and there should be protective measures, and it is appropriate to bury underground or cover the insulation layer to ensure that it can be used normally in winter.


Iv. Others


Marks can be affixed to pipelines and other parts that need to be marked, and the identification symbols are composed of the characteristic name, the flow direction and the main process parameters.


The products can effectively mark various pipeline uses and media names and flow directions, which plays a vital role in effective pipeline facility identification and improving safety performance. Proper piping identification can not only save response time to emergency situations, but also make your maintenance work more efficient and save time and cost.


Conclusion


The pipeline design of the factory recirculating aquaculture system is the key link to ensure the efficient, environmentally friendly and intelligent operation of the system. Through scientific and reasonable pipeline design, we can realize the recycling and efficient treatment of aquaculture water, provide a suitable growth environment for aquaculture organisms, and reduce breeding costs and environmental pollution.
