Driving Companies to Pursue Ecological Goals: The Case for Anaerobic Digestion

Eurofish worked with the Italian branch of Fluence Corporation to design the best solution to tackle the key environmental issues associated with fish processing: high consumption of energy, and generation of effluent with high organic content and by-products.

Eurofish Group, a leader in Ecuador's tuna industry, is remarkable in its commitment to promoting sustainability and environmental protection in the developing country.

Using advanced anaerobic digestion technology, Eurofish now generates renewable energy in the form of biogas in the process of treating its otherwise potentially hazardous waste. 

The biogas is re-injected into the production system, with consumption savings for the company of 35-40%. The treatment reduces sludge waste volume by 75%, while the final clarification ensures that the treated wastewater exceeds permitted requirements.

Maintaining the structure, productivity, function, and diversity of the ecosystem is crucial, and seafood companies need to lead the field in guaranteeing the health of the oceans.

With their immediate high return of investment, water treatments and anaerobic digestion to produce biogas make companies more inclined to pursue these ecological goals.
