INAPRO
AQUACULTURE + HYDROPONICS = AQUAPONICS
stands for “Innovative Aquaponics for Professional Application”.
INAPRO aims at improving current approaches to rural and urban aquaponics through the development of a model and the integration of innovative technologies to save water, energy and nutrients. The INAPRO system responds to the global challenge of food security by producing local, healthy and sustainable food with a low water and carbon footprint.

The demonstration object in Waren (Mecklenburgische Seenplatte) has been built on the premises of Fischerei Müritz Plau which is the largest freshwater fishing company in Germany.
The total area of the INAPRO aquaponic facility is 573 m2 and consists of the fish farm with the recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), a broad-ship greenhouse, a technical room with a combined heat and power plant (CHP) and the computer control system, a feed storage room and an outside secondary clarifier. The demonstration facility is expected to produce around 24 tonnes of African Catfish and 11 tonnes of tomatoes per year.
