A brief detail of each module to be used in the aquaponics system
- Module of containment
Could be in the open field, on land, usually using a greenhouse, in this case will be used something which is customized. I did not even think of what to do, but I thought of something like plastic sheeting to keep the temperature at acceptable levels during the night.
- Module of the main production
Use two tanks called “above ground”. The dimensions are indicative of four meters by two meters and seventy centimeters in depth. One tank used for fish and the second for the shrimp and plants (fruits and vegetables). Most likely a series of small tanks will be used for physical filtration and biological waste generated by fish and shrimp.
- Module of heating
Use a tub, not yet decided its size to store water heated by the sun. To heat the water one should use a tube placed in a spiral, as this minimizes the space.
- Module of cooling
I thought of a small refrigerator powered by a 12-volt, initially this form will not be implemented. It is not even said that it is necessary since the water temperature may not exceed a temperature of 25 degrees celcius.
- Module of control and management
In a good aquaponics system both the pH and electroconductivity of the water should be checked. In the project, I have decided to use a microprocessor controller to automate most of the control processes (e.g. water temperature) and management (e.g. food for the fish tanks).
