FloNergia Inc., a global leader in the development, commercialization and deployment of engineered airlift pumping systems for the agriculture, aquaculture, aquaponics, hydroponics and water/wastewater industries, today announced the appointment of Northwest Fisheries Enhancement as Exclusive Distributor for the company’s complete line FloMov airlift pumps in Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.

FloNergia’s FloMov airlift pump technology is used in many markets for water circulation and aeration. FloMov pumps not only improve water quality, but will also reduce energy costs associated with pumping/aeration systems by 50 to 70% when compared to conventional systems. Additionally, FloMov pumps have been proven to perform several functions including: disrupting thermal stratification, improving oxygenation, stripping carbon dioxide and facilitating the recovery of solid waste.

“We are very pleased to add Northwest Fisheries Enhancement to our global family of Exclusive Distributors. Their expertise in Hatchery Management and their connection to the aquaculture and fisheries industries in the Pacific Northwestern US will help us to introduce our energy efficient FloMov pump technology to the region,” FloNergia Inc. CEO Paul Subject said. “We wanted to make it easier for our current and future customers in the area to get access to our technology to help them reduce their energy footprint and improve their profitability.”

“Northwest Fisheries Enhancement is excited to add FloNergia’s FloMov airlift pumps to our suite of solutions available to strengthen and build the community fisheries organizations we work with here in the Pacific Northwest”, said Larry Pryor, Founder and President of the board of Northwest Fisheries Enhancement.

Northwest Fisheries Enhancement works with community fisheries organizations, hatchery owners, aquaculture facilities and others in the Pacific Northwest to enhance their operations by providing collaboration to improve efficiencies, results and return on investment.

FloNergia Inc. specializes in the development, commercialization and distribution of airlift pumping systems for commercial and industrial applications involving the use of air to efficiently move fluids. The company provides engineering support and product service for its customers from its facilities in Burlington, Ontario, Canada and its Research Centre at the University of Guelph.

FloNergia is honoured to be one of Fast Company’s 2018 World Changing Ideas Award finalists. Chosen from nearly 1400 submissions, FloNergia’s innovative airlift pump was 1 of 15 finalists in the Energy category. “World Changing Ideas, now in its second year, celebrates businesses, policies, and nonprofits that are poised to help shift society to a more sustainable and more equitable future.” Fast Company.  
 
“Our pumps help make aquaculture, hydroponic, and aquaponic set-ups less expensive to run by eliminating the need for a separate water pump,” explained Chief Technology Officer Wael Ahmed. “Lowering the costs of these systems mean more people around the world can grow their own food more sustainably.” FloNergia’s airlift pumps reduce energy use by 50-70% compared to traditional centrifugal pumps.
 
Aquaculture systems are an important way to reduce unsustainable fishing in the world’s oceans. As the world’s appetite for fish continues to grow, fish farming is becoming an important alternative to traditional fishing practices. Hydroponic systems allow more food to be grown with fewer resources and are increasing seen as playing a major role in the future of food production. Integrating aquaculture and hydroponics produces a highly efficient system where waste from aquatic life is fed to plants which in turn clean the water of waste. These systems require fewer resources than traditional farming techniques and are an important way to create more sustainable food production systems for the future.
