Built for modern aquaculture challenges
Blue Carbon’s wave-powered oPods work in harsh and calm conditions to deliver constant fresh water for aquaculture - with zero fuel and zero grid.
Ocean conditions are getting harder to predict — and harder to work with.
Rising temperatures, oxygen stress, and seasonal swings are making it more difficult to maintain consistency, even in well-managed farms. Most systems weren’t built for this kind of volatility. At Blue Carbon, we’re working alongside aquaculture operators to develop tools that are.
How oPod helps improve offshore aquaculture
oPod Aqua™ - steady deep flow
oPod Aqua™ delivers a steady flow of deep, cool water into the upper layers of the pen.
- Constant cool water means reduced heat stress and reduced mortality.
- Deep water holds more dissolved oxygen, supporting fish health.
- Consistent fresh water reduces pests and disease.
- Constant flow means natural swimming - improved muscle, and reduced aggression.
oPod Air™ - reliable oxygenation
oPod Air™ delivers compressed air reliably in high seas, and swells as low as 0.2m. Pair with oPod Aqua™ for improved circulation and oxygenation.
- oPod Air™ is designed to integrate with existing infrastructure, including aeration lines and bubble curtains.
- Small footprint, low maintenance, and fuel-free operation.
oPod Mini™ - live ocean data
oPod Mini™ is a compact, cost-effective data buoy designed to help farms meet monitoring requirements.
- Smart compliance coverage. Covers all core parameters under EPA guidelines.
- Real-time data means reduced risk and no more manual spot sampling
- Rugged unit integrates easily without extra cost or complexity.
Extend your growing season
The oPod™ system allows you to maintain performance during warmer months and across seasons.
- Robust units deliver constant flow in calm and heavy weather.
- Constant water flow with no fuel costs.
- Increased productivity and health.
- Lowers environmental risks.
