Details
RAS and biofloc represent the future of intensive aquaculture. RAS systems recirculate 90-99% of water through mechanical and biological filtration, enabling indoor farming independent of natural water sources. Biofloc technology cultivates beneficial microbial communities that serve as supplementary feed, reducing feed costs by 20-30%. Our Colombo engineering team designs systems achieving 50-80 tonnes per hectare annually — 10x traditional pond culture.
Why Colombo?
Colombo and the Western Province are ideal for RAS and biofloc facilities: reliable electricity supply, access to skilled technicians, proximity to markets and Colombo port for equipment import, and available industrial/commercial land. Indoor RAS facilities can operate within Colombo's suburban and peri-urban areas.
Why Choose Globe Multi Traders
Our engineering team combines Sri Lankan aquaculture knowledge with international RAS design experience. We source components from trusted suppliers and integrate Spiromax feed supplements for maximum growth performance in intensive systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cost of a RAS system in Colombo?
RAS investment varies significantly based on production capacity. A small-scale RAS system (5-10 tonne annual capacity) starts from approximately LKR 10-15 million. Commercial systems (50+ tonnes) are larger investments. We provide detailed costings during consultancy.
Is biofloc technology suitable for Sri Lankan conditions?
Yes, Sri Lanka's tropical temperatures are ideal for biofloc systems which thrive in warm water (28-32°C). The technology is particularly effective for Vannamei shrimp farming in Sri Lankan conditions.
Can RAS be set up in urban Colombo areas?
Yes, RAS systems are contained and have minimal environmental footprint. They can operate in warehouses, commercial buildings, or purpose-built facilities within urban and peri-urban areas.
