Largest single installation of lice filter in Norway

At the beginning of March, Ditech received an order for ten Auto-line VLR self-cleaning filter systems from Fry ASA. The filter systems will be installed on the rebuilt offshore vessel ”Frøy Challenger” which will be a high-capacity de-lice vessel.

The company announces this in a press release.

The filters are known for high capacity, stable operation and good results on the ÿltration. Which was crucial for the choice of supplier and system for Frøy in this project.

Biosafety is one of the reasons why we chose Auto-Line VLR, which is a self-cleaning fillter with easy daily access for cleaning and maintenance, which provides savings on service, downtime and redu­ced washing time, says Karl Erik Saure in Frøygruppen.

In June, the filter systems were delivered and the ship is expected to be put into operation during August 2021. This is the largest single installation of Auto-line VLR on a de-lice vessel in Norway and the 10 ÿlters will have a capacity of 10,000 m3 / h.

In addition to this agreement, Ditech has already delivered and has contracts for the delivery of several self-cleaning filter systems to the aquaculture industry in 2021.
– Delivery of self-cleaning filters to the aquaculture industry has increased in recent years, which is mainly due to good results and experiences from previous projects. In addi­tion, it helps that the systems we deliver are.
