How Depth Charge Works

“We value our collaboration and partnership with Poseidon in applying advanced aquaculture technology and innovation to our operations, together striving to continuously improve our production, fish welfare, and sustainability.”

Diane Morrison, DVM

Managing Director, Mowi Canada West

Higher output with less energy

The patent-pending technology consumes only 1 kWe to infuse any oxygen flowrate from 0-300 SLPM (0-22 kgO₂/hr). The unique mixing mechanism ensures the large gas flow is successfully processed down to extremely small bubbles, dissolving up to 75% of the oxygen supplied when deployed at 10m depth.

This compact and easy-to-handle design allows farm operators to use less energy overall than alternative solutions.

Wide Range of Sizes & Use Cases

Depth Charge’s submersible technology can be deployed directly inside fish pens, semi-closed units, or deep land-based tanks.

Depth Charge Plume (DCP) can be use for increased growth, enabling barrier/skin use, emergency Oxygen, harvesting, treatments, or other fish handling.

“In both our closed and semi-closed production systems we replaced our original O2 injection technology with Poseidon’s Depth Charge Plume and observed improved mixing of O2 rich water within the cage, improved feeding response and overall fish behaviour (especially within the closed system); easier operational deployment, removal, and maintenance, and an ability to install less equipment in the cage due to DCP’s high injection capacity.”

Efficient Option

The Depth Charge stands out from its competitors due to its exceptionally low power consumption and high oxygen transfer efficiency, making it a clear leader in terms of overall system power usage.

Its unique gas processing mechanism allows the Depth Charge to operate with very low input pressure. This feature enables it to work seamlessly with Oxypressor®, resulting in even lower power consumption compared to traditional oxygen systems.
