Fish farming in biofloc system
LUNDA, Roman
The aim of this diploma thesis has been to establish and to verify functionality of a model biofloc system for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) farming. The main criteria to be observed during the experiment were chemical characteristcs of the water, development of the biofloc microflora and the reaction of the system to technological interventions. The experiment has consisted of two phases. The first phase monitored an insufficiently functioning system. Due to unsatisfactory assurance of the oxygen concentration as well as the water column stirring, 4 different types of air-sourcing devices have been used in the experiment. For assuring of the perfect stirring and of the sufficient oxygen concentration ( 6 mg×l-1) an airlift fulfilling both the criteria has been constructed. The impact of the carbohydrates application on the decrease of the amonia nitrogen has been sucessfully verified during the experiment. The average value of the C/N ratio of 14 has been reached thanks to the quantity of flour being added as the carbohydrate source into the system. When the recommended amount of TSS (200 ml×l-1) with the corresponding biofloc microflora that has been transforming all the nitrogen in the experiment tank into the microbial protein, the system was evaluated as fully functional. During the biofloc analysis, the presence of N-substances at the amount of 223.6 g at all of the experiment tank (1300 l) has been detected. In the comparison with the applied feed material at the amount of 300 g containing 39% of the N-substances, only 67.1 g of the N-substances has been added into the system. The biofloc (bacterial flakes) serves as food for the tilapia during the entire period of the functional system.
CFD Simulation of Laboratory Scale Airlift Reactor Hydrodynamics
Šimčík, Miroslav ; Růžička, Marek
The goal of this work was to test the simulation sensitivity to the prescribed bubble terminal velocity. Simulations were done for three different airlfit configurations (different lenght and diameter of riser tube) for gas superficial velocities 1-7,5cm/s.
