Aquaculture
Solutions for land-based aquaculture
Héðinn supports Iceland's growing onshore aquaculture sector with our own innovative waste treatment system, lighting systems, control systems and other processing systems.
Innovative and energy efficient solutions for fish farming
Iceland's aquaculture sector is expanding on land, with onshore and land-based farms raising fish in controlled, recirculating environments. These facilities depend on robust process systems, reliable water handling, and equipment built to run continuously in wet, demanding conditions.
Héðinn brings decades of plant engineering and fabrication experience to this sector. The same workshop and field teams that build and service fishmeal, protein, and marine systems supply tanks, piping, and fish handling equipment for land-based aquaculture and processing facilities.
Our latest example is the Eddy-dryer which is an induction disc-dryer and has been very successful in sludge treatment in land based farms.

From facility brief to commissioned system
Each aquaculture project follows a structured sequence from scope through installation and service.
Pre-design
Héðinn works with the operator to establish species, throughput, water handling needs, and site constraints.
Engineering and design
The team develops tank, piping, and equipment layouts with maintenance and future expansion in mind.
Fabrication and supply
Tanks, vessels, and steel structures are fabricated in the workshop, with bought-in equipment sourced and coordinated.
Installation and service
Héðinn installs and commissions the system on site, then supports it with planned and responsive maintenance.
Send the aquaculture facility brief or capacity question
Héðinn can help define the process route, scope the tanks, piping, and handling equipment, and plan the fabrication for a new land-based facility or an upgrade.
