Every product we sell, we run ourselves.
The OCEANTECH™ range was not developed in a laboratory and sold into the market. It was developed and validated through real commercial production at our Milas facility — before being offered to clients.
Operated — not just tested
Drum Filters
Proven at MilasRotating mesh screen mechanical filtration for suspended solids removal. The first equipment our Milas operators interact with each morning — that daily familiarity drives continuous refinement. Flow capacities from 100 to 3,000+ m³/hour, thermoplastic construction, gravity-fed or pressurised.
MBBR Biofilters
Proven at MilasMoving Bed Biofilm Reactor biological filtration for ammonia and nitrite conversion. Carrier media management at Milas — monitoring biofilm development and responding to biological upsets — gives our engineers direct experience of behaviour under variable bioload.
Trickling Biofilters
Proven at MilasStructured packing media tower biofilters for combined nitrification and CO₂ stripping. Operated at Milas across multiple species and temperature ranges, giving us comparative data that informs MBBR-vs-trickling selection per application.
Degassers
Proven at MilasForced-draft packed column degassers for dissolved CO₂ removal. CO₂ management is one of the most misunderstood parameters in RAS — our Milas team has developed practical protocols across species and season, incorporated into client training and manuals.
Oxygen Injection Systems
Proven at MilasPressurised liquid oxygen injection via ADEC oxygen cones. Oxygen management at high stocking densities is a daily task at Milas — the monitoring routines, setpoint management and emergency protocols developed there are standard in client training.
UV Disinfection Systems
Proven at MilasMedium and low-pressure UV systems for pathogen control. Lamp maintenance scheduling, transmission monitoring and dose verification are routine at Milas — clients leave knowing not just that UV works, but exactly how to keep it working through the lamp lifecycle.
Aquaculture Tanks
Proven at MilasRound and raceway tanks in thermoplastic construction, manufactured at ADEC's Milas factory. Tank geometry, inlet/outlet design and self-cleaning hydraulics have been refined through operational experience — reducing daily labour in intensive production.
Process Monitoring & SCADA
Proven at MilasIntegrated water quality monitoring and automated control. The alarm thresholds, response protocols and monitoring routines built into ADEC's SCADA were developed from Milas operational data — real events, real responses — not theoretical setpoints from manuals.
Every OCEANTECH™ product runs in these tanks before it reaches yours.
Species we have operated. Systems we have proven.
ADEC does not offer generic RAS solutions and claim they suit any species. We specify systems based on the actual biological requirements of the target species — requirements our team understands from direct operational experience at Milas.
European Sea Bass & Sea Bream
The primary commercial species operated at our own Milas facility. Our team has managed these species through acclimation, grow-out and multiple production cycles — developing the feeding protocols, density management and health monitoring that inform how we design and commission these systems for clients.
Turbot
A premium flatfish with specific requirements — particularly very low water velocity and dedicated tank geometry. ADEC has operated turbot systems at Milas and developed specific flatfish RAS engineering that differs significantly from round-fish system design.
Tilapia
ADEC delivered a complete turnkey tilapia RAS in Qatar — 4 tanks, 50 m³ total volume, 150 m² footprint, 3,500 kg capacity at 70 kg/m³ density. Direct experience of tilapia commissioning and the specific water quality management of intensive tilapia production.
Atlantic Salmon
The flagship commercial RAS species globally, with major land-based investments underway across continents. ADEC's engineering team has designed salmon RAS at commercial scale — qualified for the cold water, high-oxygen, large-volume systems salmon requires.
Freshwater — Trout, Perch, Pike-perch
Freshwater RAS for European perch and trout is a growing sector across Europe and increasingly the Middle East. ADEC has supply and commissioning experience with freshwater species, drawing on bore-hole, municipal and recycled water sources.
Research & Hatchery Systems
Not all RAS is commercial grow-out. ADEC's experience includes research-scale RAS for leading feed manufacturer Biomar and Istanbul University's aquaculture research programme — demonstrating the precision, flexibility and documentation research applications require.
RAS technology, explained
OCEANTECH™ is ADEC's proprietary range of recirculating aquaculture equipment — drum filters, MBBR and trickling biofilters, degassers, oxygen injection systems, UV disinfection, culture tanks and SCADA control. Every product is manufactured in-house and proven in real production at our own Milas facility before it is supplied to clients.
Yes. ADEC designs and manufactures its core RAS equipment in-house rather than reselling third-party hardware. This means tighter quality control, equipment matched precisely to each facility's biology and flow rates, and reliable spare-part and service support across the GCC.
A complete process stack: mechanical drum filtration, biological MBBR and trickling biofilters, CO₂ degassing, liquid-oxygen injection via oxygen cones, UV and ozone disinfection, thermoplastic culture and raceway tanks, and integrated SCADA monitoring and control.
Yes. Unlike suppliers who sell equipment they have never operated, ADEC runs every OCEANTECH™ product daily at its 23,327 m² Milas fish farm. The alarm thresholds, maintenance routines and operating protocols we hand to clients come from real production data, not theoretical specifications.
