NEW FAROE ISLANDS FACTORY TRAWLER
Landia has supplied chopper pumps and a mixer for a new, integrated Faroe Islands factory trawler.
The new system allows the trawler to produce large volumes of fish silage.
Landia delivered three stainless submersible chopper pumps that will chop the bi-products, whilst the mixer (also stainless steel) will ensure that the processed silage stays homogenous in the tanks.
One of the chopper pumps, which was supplied as a high-pressure pump, will also make unloading of the finished fish silage a quick and simple process.
In addition to its acclaimed pumps and mixers, Landia also recently supplied pasteurization equipment for fish morts that will be utilised as feedstock for an expanding AD plant.
The 8m3 pasteurizer, which is fitted with Landia’s side-entry propeller mixer and equally robust dry-installed chopper pump, processes the fish morts in accordance with ABP (Animal By-Products) regulations, fully approved by vets.
A 10m3 ensiling tank with an 18.5kW stainless steel long shaft chopper pump, recirculates and blends the fish morts into a smooth purée, before being discharged into the pasteurizer.
With the fish morts suitably mixed, pumped and pasteurized at 70oC by the Landia equipment, gas yields are forecast to increase significantly at the AD plant.
