Detailed Performance Evaluation and Accelerated Commercialization of The Nitrifying Bioreactor Technology in Indian Market

Introduction

Integrated organic nitrifying and denitrifying bioreactor for Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) with a bacterial consortium delivery system that converts inorganic forms of nitrogen to readily available forms.

State of Development

Commercialized in the name of “Bioreactor for RAS” on 21st June 2017. Till date, there are 56 users

Unique Features of the Product/Technology

Aquaculture, in Open Rearing Systems, is a source of pollution with deleterious effect on alkalinity, dissolved Oxygen, and chloride concentrations of groundwater causing grave risk to public health. The current system reduces the use of chemical disinfectants and antibiotics. Nitrification and denitrification is being carried out in the same system as against the conventional systems require two reactors. Optimium levels of nitrogen are being maintained in the reactors. The product can be tailormade for customer requirements. The product is offered at around 60% of the cost of competing European/ U.S. technology

Market Potential

The estimated bioreactor market in India is USD 427 Million for an annual output of 4,549,607 metric tonnes. The other major markets are Indonesia, Vietnam, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Egypt, Thailand, Myanmar, Philippines, and South Korea. The total bioreactor market for these 9 territories is estimated at USD 1653 Million. The target markets are proposed to be reached through strategic partnerships.
