Following an extensive application process with assistance from, among others, Blue Planet, Nordic Clean Pumps has received support for a main project through Innovation Norway’s scheme with grants for innovation contracts. The goal is to further ensure the quality of the TGC unit through a pilot plant together with partners in the aquaculture industry.
– Testing and research is what we need to drive innovation. The goal is to adapt the components of the technology to absolutely all facilities, from cages in the sea to food fish production on land, Røvang and Apeland say.
The TGC project, which VRI Rogaland has supported, is part of a larger investment by Nordic Clean Pumps in pump technology for the aquaculture industry globally. With its focus on research and development, the company recently won a major contract with Grieg Seafood at their fish farm in Newfoundland, Canada.
