Visited your website but I don’t speak that language so I couldn’t understand it, but looks like you use a method similar Nelson and Pade…? One thing we did to increase rev per area of space was inoculate wood with mycelium and hang it above the water. You could harvest market desirable mushrooms along with your produce and protein. Also, incorporating shrimp to further add to the process of breaking down the ammonia particulates during the transformation to nitrate can be beneficial and another rev stream. Are y’all profitable and scalable with the ops you’re running?
I’m kind of bummed because I was hoping there were going to be a lot more people focused on this and scaling it, but in this thread there are not…
The build log I linked to is in English. We will also publish more in that if you want to follow it.
This is a pilot facility, but looks similar to what Nelson and Pade offers at a quick glance. The commercial scale facility will be very different than this. The scale is 50-100 times larger and you can think of the growing area of this as one layer in a multi-layer facility.
This small scale pilot is far from profitable. Generally we think you need to be at up to 1000 m2 growing area if you have a facility which is a side business and you take care of it alongside your farm. If it is a business by itself with external distribution you probably need it to be about 10 000 m2. (Of course this depends heavily on your local conditions, what you can sell, at what price etc.)
We are focused on scaling, but that is another story than a demo and pilot plant. :)
