For those producers choosing liquid bulk supply, advanced telemetry mounted on the storage tanks measures oxygen levels and indicates when a delivery is required. Deliveries are scheduled to ensure constant supply. Telemetry systems reduce administration for our customers and optimize delivery schedules, helping to improve environmental footprint.
For offshore farming, however, where logistics are more challenging to get the oxygen to the pens, we recommend manifolded cylinders to combine large volume supply with transportability.
Careful planning is therefore key, including scheduling gas deliveries in advance, regardless of external factors such as extreme weather. Our role, working with producers, is not only to supply the oxygen, but also to provide ongoing monitoring, guidance and proactive support.
Oxygenation is one of several important factors in sustainable fish farming, and producers work with a broad range of
partners to keep their operations running effectively. As an industrial gas supplier with more than 60 years’ experience operating in Scotland, our role is to support our customers with the oxygen they need and to collaborate closely with them as conditions change throughout the year. ■
