Fisheries
Maximizing Recovery. Minimizing Waste.
Fish processing operations generate substantial wastewater—especially during the cooking and extraction stages of products like fish oil and omega-3 fatty acids. At Permionics, we help fisheries reclaim value from this waste with advanced membrane systems that enable protein recovery, water reuse, and stick water concentration—drastically reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
Whether you’re producing surimi, marine peptides, or fish oil, our customized filtration systems are designed to meet stringent hygiene requirements, maximize recovery yields, and support sustainable marine processing operations.
Key Challenges Solved
- High water consumption and effluent volumes in fish processing
- Nutrient-rich 'stick water' typically discarded as waste
- High energy cost of traditional evaporation systems
- Difficulty maintaining hygiene with conventional equipment
- Rising environmental compliance pressures
Our Solutions
Permionics membranes are engineered for the rigors of fish-based extract processing:
- Stick water concentration with ultrafiltration and nanofiltration
- Protein and amino acid recovery from effluent streams
- Surimi wastewater reclamation to reduce fresh water demand
- Low-temperature separation to preserve product quality
- Compact, clean-in-place (CIP) ready modules for easy hygiene compliance
