Standardizing RAS

A standardized, low-CAPEX and scalable mRAS technology

Salmon is one of the world's most important sources of protein, and land-based aquaculture is an exciting next step for the industry. EcoFishCircle was founded by aquaculture farmers who wanted to combine hands-on operational experience with a standardized, modular approach to RAS.

The result is a modular and standardized RAS concept designed for commercial production, grounded in real operational experience.

EFC mRAS

Six core pillars that define the EcoFishCircle mRAS platform — built for performance, scalability, and the future of land-based aquaculture.

01

Standardized

Standardized design for easy maintenance and first-class reliability across all modules and installations.

02

Modular & Flexible

Flexible and scalable for easy installation and production-efficient build out — grow as your project grows.

03

Biosecurity

Designed for optimal fish welfare and with low risk of disease spread through isolated water recirculation.

04

Cost Efficiency

Low CAPEX and low OPEX through cost-efficient, standardized design and off-the-shelf components.

05

EFC Control

Tailormade control system based on direct operational experience, prepared for future AI opportunities.

06

Circular

Circular economy ready with significant possibilities for collaboration and symbiosis in the value chain.

Pillar 01

Standardized

EcoFishCircle's modular design is built on standardized components and procedures — enabling consistent quality, simplified maintenance, and reliable performance across every installation regardless of scale.

  • Identical module architecture across all projects
  • Off-the-shelf, industry-standard components
  • Streamlined maintenance and spare part logistics
  • Predictable build and commissioning timelines
  • Transferable operational know-how across sites
Pillar 02

Modular & Flexible

Each EFC mRAS unit operates as an independent production module — giving you the flexibility to start small, scale with confidence, and adapt to any site or market condition.

  • Independent production modules — each with its own water loop
  • Adaptable to your production plan — scale up or down as needed
  • Flexible siting — from warehouses to purpose-built facilities
  • Phased investment — expand capacity over time
  • Parallel modules ensure uninterrupted production
Pillar 03

Biosecurity

Isolated water recirculation per tank creates small, independent biozones — dramatically reducing the risk of cross-contamination and disease spread. Designed from the ground up for optimal fish welfare.

  • Isolated water recirculation per individual tank
  • Smaller biozones limit disease exposure
  • Zero sea lice risk — fully land-based
  • Zero escape risk — enclosed controlled environment
  • Parallel water treatment for robust, stable operations
Pillar 04

Cost Efficiency

Through standardized off-the-shelf components and cost-efficient design, EFC mRAS achieves significantly lower CAPEX than conventional large-scale RAS — without compromising on performance.

  • >30% lower CAPEX compared to other RAS solutions — without compromising performance or scalability
  • >40% reduction in energy consumption
  • Low energy usage, < 4 kWh/kg
  • FCR: < 1.00 achieved in demo productions
  • Phased capital deployment reduces financial risk
Pillar 05

EFC Control

EFC Control is EcoFishCircle's proprietary management and monitoring platform — developed through direct operational experience at Hausvik. It provides full real-time visibility and precise control of every production parameter.

  • Real-time monitoring of all operational parameters
  • Built from operational experience — not theoretical design
  • Integrated with every EFC mRAS module
  • Remote monitoring and alarm management
  • AI-ready architecture for future optimization
Pillar 06

Circular

The EFC mRAS concept is designed to be easily adaptable to circular economy principles — making it well-suited for integration into broader value chains from production through processing and beyond. Through strategic partnerships with HydrogenPro, Gas2Feed and Vireo, we are developing the pathways toward a fully circular land-based value chain.

  • HydrogenPro collaboration for clean energy integration
  • Gas2Feed partnership for circular feed production
  • Vireo partnership for sludge and nutrient utilisation
  • Sludge utilisation for biogas and fertilizer
  • Biomarker traceability — exclusive partnership with Queen's University Belfast
