Company history and experience
"Aquafarmer" (VodoTek Engineering LLC) is an engineering company that designs, manufactures and builds turnkey fish farms: from the selection of technology and calculations to the supply of equipment, installation, commissioning and bringing the facility to operational levels. We work with RAS, direct-flow, recirculating and partially recirculating systems.
We do not sell a set of equipment - we assemble a technological system that should work stably in real conditions.
RAS industrial complex - completed projectNumbers and experience
We understand how an object should work not only on paper, but also in reality - taking into account biology, hydraulics, equipment, operation and economics of the project.
What are we doing
- Turnkey construction of RAS fish farms.
- Design of farms and individual technological blocks.
- Selection of technology for the type of fish, production volume and site conditions.
- Production and supply of technological equipment.
- Installation, commissioning and start-up of the system.
- Maintenance of cultivation and bringing the farm to operating parameters.
- Audit, reconstruction and modernization of existing farms.
- Consulting on the launch, development and scaling of projects.
Approach to work
Each project begins not with an equipment catalog, but with a client’s task. We look at the facility as a single system where technology, equipment, building, utilities, cultivation biology and economics are coordinated.
In our work we take into account
- type of aquatic organism and planned productivity
- water, building, energy, sewer and site parameters
- composition of technological blocks and water treatment scheme
- selection of equipment, automation and service infrastructure
- stages of construction, launch and achievement of stable indicators
Why choose Aquafarmer
Starting a fish farm is scary not because of the technology, but because of the risks. Here's how we close them:
We start not with equipment, but with economics: during the pre-project we calculate the business model, CAPEX, OPEX and payback period. You see the numbers before you invest your capital.
The full cycle is in one hand: design, equipment, installation, commissioning, stocking and service. One person is responsible for the result - a launched and working farm.
It's normal - we'll figure it out. We will guide you through all stages, train staff and provide clear operating instructions.
We provide a reserve for critical components and a truly working guarantee. If a node fails, we promptly replace it, sometimes to a higher class.
We support the farm even after its launch: technological support and service for years. Many customers return for second and third turns.

Development and production of equipment
Key RAS components - biofilters, drum microfilters, hydrocyclones and settling tanks, oxygenators, oxygen concentrators, ozonation systems, pH control and dosing, degassers, heat exchangers, control panels, pools and incubation equipment - we develop independently.
The design, hydraulics, automation circuits and components are our engineering expertise for 15 years. Production according to our drawings is carried out according to the ODM model with strict multi-stage quality control - this means stable quality, controlled deadlines and scaling for projects of any size.
