Engineering planning checklist
RAS Aquaculture System Sizing
Determine biofilter ammonia capacity, oxygen demand, and tank turnover rates.
Use as a checklist, not an automated design workflow. Complete and verify each calculation independently. Only explicit carry-forward links move a compatible value; all other inputs remain your responsibility.
What this workflow covers
Determine biofilter ammonia capacity, oxygen demand, and tank turnover rates.
This 3-step checklist is intended for systems engineer. Confirm each linked calculator's units, formula, assumptions and operating limits before using the result in a project decision.

Sequence Execution
1
Tank Exchange Rate
Calculate ideal tank turnover time and hydraulic exchanges per day from effective tank volume and continuous flow.
WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Tank Exchange Rate.
2
Biofilter Ammonia Production
Calculate feed-derived total ammonia nitrogen load and the media area required at a declared removal rate.
WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Biofilter Ammonia Production.
3
Raceway Oxygenation
Scope-limited calculation
Calculate cultured-biomass oxygen demand and the ideal air flow required at a declared installed transfer efficiency.
WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Raceway Oxygenation.
