hi! is it okay to create some innovations and attempt to fill the gaps of the iprs? i mean iprs is advanced as it is alone, but since you've presented the "gaps" and encouraged us to take our attempts for the betterment of the system, is it possible? without directly invalidating the intellectual property rights. i am a student researcher by the way! thank you!
thanks for the comment! yes, of course, I'll be interested to see how you "close the gaps" but don't bypass the basic principles. I received your email and will reply. The biggest gaps are trying to reduce the use of power to move water and aerate while maintaining a healthy environment for the fish and enough velocity to move waste to the quiescent zone. I've done that this year using DC propeller motors and solar; but the slow-rotation paddlewheel is another method that I'll try to see how it compares with propeller. another big gap is removing as much solid waste as possible without creating too much equipment or too much labor, and then finding a use for it such as methane/biogas production and fertilizer / compost, both of which I've proved the concepts for, just need to put it into practice.
Hi Skip, learning so much from these even the terms seems a little bit too cumbersome. Am planning on investing in this iprs and I will appreciate some guide from your mentorship. From Nigeria. Looking for a cheaper method to accomplish this system.
Thank you! Pls reach out by email. the most important thing i can suggest is to understand the principles. then you can design your less expensive construction method although the current designs are paying for themselves over two to three years. a pretty good ROI.
Fantastic technology sir I am unemployed guy I want to do this business project I need help I need to understand properly and also need to know how costly is it.? please need advice
Hi, Thank you for the amazing presentation. I have a few questions. And I have already read the manual. 1. We know the minimum economically viable size for iPRS is 10,000m3. However, for smaller ponds let's say 1000m2 with a depth of 3m, sometimes it might be more productive with a raceway system than any existing approaches. For the smaller pond like 3000m3, what could be the width and height of a raceway cell and QZ that offers good muscle exercise for the fishes and offer efficient waste cleaning? 2. For a 3000m3 water body, how much air should we have to supply to the WWUs? 3. If someone wants to increase the depth of their pond to let's say 5m, just using two WWUs with the chimney effect will be sufficient? 4. Different species and sizes of fingerlings require different water flow rates. Is there any suggestion from you on how we can adjust the speed of the flow based on multiple species on the SAME raceway cell (they are in different confinement areas in the same raceway cell) Thanks in advance.
you can probably work out these details by scaling down. details are in the manual. however, keep in mind that the larger water volumes help buffer the water quality and smaller ponds do not perform the same way. ussec.org/ussec-in-pond-raceway-systems/
Hi Skip. Amazing presentation. Just one query. How do we ensure that the solid waste dosnt settle in the raceway and it moves all the way across the raceway and settles in the Quiescent positioned in the end of the raceway?
Hi there! that is covered by the velocity of water through the raceway . combined with the density of fish. The flow of water and fish cause the waste to move toward the QZ where it settles without fish action sweeping it along. see the description in manual ussec.org/ussec-in-pond-raceway-systems/
Hi Skip, I have been following IPRS systems for a while and trying to decide whether to take the plunge. Watched your video as well as Jesse Chappels. You both dovetail quite nicely in terms of getting a good understanding of IPRS. Your video does cover off a bit more detail is some areas which is very useful. How can I contact you to discuss IPRS in a bit more depth. Trying to work out how i would implement IPRS in my situation. I have a couple of questions you may be able to help me with which could tip me over into taking the plunge. Peter
Hello! the details are in the manual. you can also visit IPRS in bangladesh. I enjoy visiting bangladesh but have no plans for the present. ussec.org/ussec-in-pond-raceway-systems/
Not sure what you are referring to... there is a quiescent zone at the tail end of the raceway that is separated from the fish; it is where the solid waste settles and collects.

Fantastic content!
Much appreciated! I think you might be my 1000th subscriber? Thanks!
@@AquaCul2R Haha! Our lucky day, I suppose. Still looking through the slides, lots of gems to wrap my head around there. Thanks again.
Wow congrats! Well done presentation even for a non IPRS fish farming person, will like to look into raceways systems without ponds,

Hi Peter, thanks very much for the note. Pls Contact me via email, pskemp2@gmail.com
Really Great
Thanks!
I want to buy this technology. I am from Bangladesh. Plz help me
Hello! the details are in the manual. you can also visit IPRS in bangladesh. I enjoy visiting bangladesh but have no plans for the present. ussec.org/ussec-in-pond-raceway-systems/
Which is called a zone in Iprs.
