The shipping company's own experience also means that you see the need and opportunity for improvements. New design with emphasis on hygienic design, with straighter surfaces and rounded corners will be able to provide better fishing quality, profitability and improve HSE for the crew. Such a design can also be combined with a boarding system based on negative pressure rather than the conventional one with a centrifugal pump, which damages the fish to a greater extent. Perhaps the combination can trigger even bigger gains together.
Main objective:
To develop and test RSW tanks with a focus on efficient circulation, hygienic design and efficient unloading.
Sub-goals:
1. To concretize proposals for the design of the RSW tank. 2. To improve cooling, faster and smoother cooling.
3. To improve circulation, especially with a high degree of filling.
4. To improve hygiene/cleanliness and reduce the risk of listeria contamination.
5. To achieve more efficient and gentle unloading, also when pressurizing the tank.
6. To simplify the washing of the RSW tank, save time, water and resources.
7. To improve HSE, safer work flow, less exposure to and better handling of acetic acid.
8. To reduce energy consumption.
9. To increase profitability through increased prices and/or reduced costs.
10. To build and test prototype, small scale and full scale.
