PTG Fridonordica secures delivery contract with Arctic Seafarm

December 16, 2024 – PTG Frionordica AS has signed a significant contract with Eyvi AS for the supply of heat pumps and seawater heat exchangers to Arctic Seafarm AS’s new land-based aquaculture facility in Nesna municipality, located on the Helgeland coast.

Arctic Seafarm’s new land-based aquaculture facility in Nesna municipality on the Helgeland coast.

“We have been working intensively in the market for land-based aquaculture, and this agreement demonstrates the results of our efforts,” says Johnny Valle, Sales and Marketing Director at PTG Frionordica.

The delivery includes two HP 20,000 heat pumps with associated plate heat exchangers, cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems and water pumps. Each heat pump has the capacity to heat 20,000 litres of water per minute with a Coefficient of Performance (COP) exceeding 12. The equipment is scheduled for delivery by the end of 2025.

PTG frionordica has collaborated closely with the technology company Eyvi AS in Tønsberg, which is responsible for detailed planning of the delivery to Arctic Seafarm. Project Manager Vegard Wigstøl at Eyvi expressed satisfaction with the agreement signed with PTG.

“We selected PTG based on a holistic evaluation, where competitive pricing, quality and their ability to deliver a robust solution with heat pumps and heat exchangers were decisive factors. Water temperature affects both growth and health, and the smallest fish require heated water to thrive optimally. We are confident that PTG’s solution will ensure excellent fish welfare, which is a central priority in all our projects,” says Wigstøl.

“We are very proud to have been chosen by Eyvi AS for this project and look forward to a strong partnership for many years to come,” says Johnny Valle of PTG.

Once the first phase of Arctic Seafarm’s land-based aquaculture facility is completed towards the end of 2026, it is expected to produce 10,000 tonnes of salmon annually (8000 tonnes gutted). This will initially provide employment for around 40 people.

“This agreement secures high activity levels at our factory in Malmefjorden in Hustadvika municipality, where we employ approximately 60 staff and apprentices. It is an important milestone for us,” concludes Valle.
