Pure Salmon is a globally operating company headquartered in Abu Dhabi and specialised in developing and operating vertically integrated land-based aquaculture facilities using RAS technology.
Pure Salmon is currently constructing 10MT grow-out salmon farms in Japan, USA, France, and 5 MT in Brunei as well as have advanced plans for the Middle East.
We are a proud member of the Pure Salmon group, developing and delivering land-based RAS technology for production of salmon from eggs to harvest.
Whilst smolt production in RAS is a proven concept, the production of harvest sized salmon on a large commercial scale is still in its infancy. This is a challenge that we, as Pure Salmon, take on – with the first facility under construction in Japan.
Our solutions combine our extensive experience in water treatment, electro and automation, and mechanical engineering, with our in-depth knowledge of fish production, fish health and welfare. The international project execution is performed by our experienced project management group and the staff training by our dedicated Aquaculture Academy team.

Desinfeksjon av RAS tar ogsa verdifull tid fra produksjon og koster mye. Bildet viser remontering av silder i bioreaktorer etter at betongen er behandlet.
I løpet av ganske få år har resirkulerende akvakultursystemer (RAS) blitt det dominerende teknologivalget når smolt- og postsmolt-anlegg skal bygges eller utvikles. Den kontinuerlige driften og den begrensede vannutskiftingen i disse anleggene gjør at det kan bygge seg opp organisk materiale på overflaten og i rørkretsene. Det er spesielt problematisk dersom sykdomsfremkallende organismer etableres i anlegget.
I en stor fagartikkel i siste utgave av LandbasedAQ drøfter fagfolk fra bl.a. seks av de største RAS-leverandørene pluss Sintef hvor viktig det er å ha stabile og godt modnede biofiltre. Både for å sikre god drift, men også for å sikre biosikkerheten.
Press Review
Salmon farming is a very lucrative investment – but now there is a more sustainable alternative to traditional farming in the sea.
A recently launched Atlantic salmon producer plans to build a network of land-based RAS farms across Europe, Asia and North America.
Ett av planetens ledende økonomiske tidsskrifter, The Economist, omtaler Salten Smolt som «én av de mest avanserte oppdrettere i verden».
Large eggs, large fry, and no need for weaning. The Atlantic salmon has some excellent advantages for fish farmers. Still, numerous life stages with specific water quality needs, and not at least the fascinating but challenging switch from fresh water to sea water, leave fish farmers and RAS-constructors with a huge set of challenges to overcome to secure the health and welfare of the fish. The increased possibilities for biosecurity offered by closed containment RAS-facilities are of little help if we cannot solve the production related disorders dominating modern, ultra intensive smolt production. In Pure Salmon Technology we acknowledge this and we are aware of our responsibilities. What happens in the hatcheries affects the life of the fish all the way to harvest. Our goal is that fish produced in RAS facilities designed by us, will have the best possible chance for a good life. Not only while it is in our facilities, but also after transfer to net pens or other facilities.
To farm fish, you need two things (apart from feeding) – good water and enough water. So simple and yet, so difficult. The water quality offered to the fish is a product of a joint effort by mother nature, our design and the nitrifying bacteria. We have outsourced the most important part of the water treatment to the microorganisms. Thus, RAS is more than fish farming – It is ecosystem management. The bioreactor is the heart of a RAS facility. In Pure Salmon Technology we have process engineers with decades of experience in biological treatment of water. We combine this knowledge with the requirements of the fish. After all, it is the fish that should have the last say about water quality.
In RAS we control all aspects of the water quality. Easy to say but difficult to accomplish. Lack of oxygen, restricted water supply, gas super saturation, temperature increases, H2S formation and handling induced mortality. The are numerous examples where inadequacies in control, logistics, and design have taken their toll. We have learned from both our mistakes and our successes and through many years of delivering smolt facilities to the largest salmon producers in the world, we have continuously improved. Our mechanical engineers, process engineers, electricians and automation experts are constantly looking for new solutions to improve our design, technology, and support systems. We give everything to ensure that the water quality is always stable and within safe limits and that the farm is a good place to be for both fish and farmers.
Satisfied customers returning to us with new requests for our services, tells a story of previous experience. We strive to deliver on time, on budget and what we agreed upon. It all starts with a thorough tender and collaboration phase where we ensure that our solutions meet our customers’ needs and wishes. Production plans, bio security, redundancy, hygienic design, component quality and of course, reliability and price. We ensure that the customers get what they need, which interestingly may not always be what they wished for in the beginning. When all is set, we have the experience, the resources, and the supply chain we need to build the facility. Our commissioning department leads the final testing and training, ensuring that everything works as expected and promised. After hand-over, we are there for you throughout the life of the farm, providing maintenance, service, process optimisation, fish health welfare assessment and education – Our experts are always close.
