• Create a Fish and Plant Production Systems within the City
• Existing Building Provides Advantages of Lower Capital Costs & Subsidies for Redevelopme
• Create a System that Produces Fish and Plants at Rates to meet our Market Demand
Goals for this Project
Take Unproductive Urban Structures and Make I Productive Again
Making Abandoned This
Into Productive This

Primary Waste Treatment: Membrane Filter Technology
Membrane Bio-Reactors (MBR’s) show great promise in treating wastewate
An MBR is a compact-built
purification system combiningthe biological degradation step
with a membrane separation

With deep trough AquaPonics, bacteria play a large role in nutrient recycling
• Freshwater or halophytic grown on
Styrofoam boards floating in the trays.
• Waste nutrients are removed by root mass
as the water flows through the trays.
