Singapore Shrimp Farm Enhances Sustainability with a 30m² Hydraulic Chamber Filter Press

Project Background

A leading shrimp farming operation in Singapore was facing mounting pressure to maintain high water quality under intensive production conditions. The farm operated up to 15 hours per day, generating large amounts of suspended solids, shrimp waste, and uneaten feed. Their previous filtration system struggled to keep pace, requiring four filter cloth replacements daily and causing:

Excessive downtime

High labor costs

Inconsistent water clarity

Reduced overall productivity

The feedwater—seawater with pH 7–8, 28–30°C temperature, and a high organic solids load—demanded a filtration solution with superior durability, higher capacity, and long-term operational stability.

To protect shrimp health, reduce disease risks, and support sustainable farming practices, the client required a robust upgrade.

Technical Solution

To address the challenges, our company supplied and commissioned a 30m² Hydraulic Chamber Filter Press, engineered specifically for high-load aquaculture applications.

Key Technical Advantages:

1. Large Filtration Area (30m²)
The expanded filtration surface allows longer processing cycles and effectively handles the high solids content typical of intensive shrimp farming.

2. Fully Automated Hydraulic System
The automated hydraulic closure ensures stable pressure, reduces manual intervention, and improves operational safety.

3. Corrosion-Resistant Construction
Using PP filter plates and coated steel components, the system is built to withstand seawater corrosion, ensuring long service life in marine environments.

4. Optimized for Shrimp Farm Waste
The press is designed for dewatering sticky organic solids such as shrimp feces and uneaten feed, producing clearer filtrate for reuse or compliant discharge

5. Efficiency & Cost Savings
By reducing filter cloth changes from 4 times per day to only a few cycles, the system dramatically cuts downtime and labor, improving both efficiency and profitability.

This tailor-made solution strengthened the client's operational stability and significantly enhanced wastewater treatment performance.
