Reliable pumping systems for public aquariums and RAS installations
Within public aquariums and Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS), a reliable Life Support System (LSS) forms the foundation of healthy aquatic ecosystems. Stable water quality, optimal filtration, and continuous water circulation are essential for the well-being of fish, marine mammals, and other aquatic organisms. At the same time, pumping systems are exposed daily to demanding conditions such as saltwater, chemicals, biological loads, and continuous 24/7 operation.
ARBO develops and manufactures thermoplastic pumping systems specifically designed for these corrosive and demanding applications. Thanks to their excellent chemical resistance, energy efficiency, low noise levels, and minimal maintenance requirements, our pumps provide reliable performance for many years. The proven reliability of ARBO pumping systems can be found in public aquariums and RAS installations worldwide. In addition to new construction projects, we also support existing installations through optimization programs focused on energy savings, reduced vibration levels, noise reduction, and increased operational reliability. In this way, we contribute to the sustainable, safe, and cost-efficient operation of critical aquatic ecosystems.
