Alfa Laval has acquired LiftUP, a Norwegian supplier of waste extraction systems for fish farms.
Located outdoors Bergen on the west coast of Norway, LiftUP manufactures, sells and installs pumps and cleaning equipment for the removing of dead fish, waste and sludge from open fish cages. The compressed waste is saved in tanks that are shipped to a biogas facility, where it is converted to renewable power and a high-grade fertilizer.

LiftUP, which had revenues of NOK75 million in 2020, will now be part of Alfa Laval’s Pumping Systems enterprise unit inside the Marine Division.
“ เกจไนโตรเจนsumo is a valuable addition to our sustainable aquaculture portfolio, expanding our providing of fish farming options that will increase each the productiveness and financial attractiveness of fish farming solutions while decreasing its impression on the environment,” mentioned Sameer Kalra, president of Alfa Laval’s Marine Division.
