Advanced Aquaculture Facility in Singapore Adopts 300 psi Hydraulic Chamber Filter Press for Sustainable Operations - Junyi Filtration

Home > Blog > Filter Press Comparisons
A prominent Singapore-based shrimp farming operation faced critical water quality management challenges under intensive production conditions. Operating 15 hours daily, the facility generated substantial volumes of:
Suspended organic solids
Shrimp metabolic waste
Residual feed particles
The existing filtration system proved inadequate, requiring four complete filter cloth replacements per day, resulting in:
Excessive operational downtime
Elevated labor and maintenance costs
Inconsistent water clarity parameters
Reduced overall farm productivity
The feedwater profile—seawater with pH 7–8, temperatures of 28–30°C, and high organic loading—demanded a filtration solution with enhanced durability, greater capacity, and reliable long-term performance to support shrimp health and sustainable operations.

2. Solution: Purpose-Built 30m² Hydraulic Chamber Filter Press

We engineered and commissioned a 30m² Hydraulic Chamber Filter Press specifically designed for high-load aquaculture applications, featuring:


FeatureBenefit
