Made-in-Canada Aquaculture Pump Featured in RASTech Magazine

U of G mechanical engineer Dr. Wael Ahmed developed an energy-saving pump for the aquaculture industry.

Developed and commercialized with support from the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance, and tested at the Ontario Aquaculture Research Centre, its parameters allow operators to accurately predict water flow rates and oxygen transfer performance – critical for stable recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) operation. FloNergia's FloMov™  pump is a solution to maintaining stable water quality while controlling energy use, maintenance requirements and system complexity, writes Ahmed in the Spring 2026 issue of RASTech Magazine.

Ahmed notes that the addition of real-time AI-driven intelligence with FloSync™ allows operators to move beyond being reactive. By reducing power consumption and minimizing maintenance requirements, FloNergia’s technology directly improves the economic viability of aquaculture facilities. Improved water quality and oxygen stability further contribute to fish welfare and production consistency.
