About us

The company was founded based on a realisation: There has been a need for more compact, efficient systems for handling sludge in aquaculture.

Blue Ocean Technology has developed a series of Plug & Farm® containerised sludge and water treatment systems. The container facilities have a high capacity and good flexibility and can process sewage sludge from up to 2500 tonnes of feed annually (with highly energy-efficient dewatering and adjustable ts). The system is built in insulated standard containers, on a skid or freestanding, and can be easily expanded to increase capacity, e.g., as the facility grows.
