Facilities

Start where your site is.

Upgrade an existing site, grow in stages or build a complete facility. Ontec’s pre-designed tanks and modules fit each step.

Three ways in

Upgrade, grow or build new.

Most of our projects start with a site manager, a list of plans and a few problems to solve. We take it from there.

01

Upgrade of an existing site

Replace worn-out tanks, add capacity or add flexibility to a facility you already run.

  • Replace old tanks with Ontec units
  • Build an extension or a new section
  • Add parametric hybrid or RAS units
  • Work planned around ongoing production
Talk about your site
02

Staged development

Start with the units you need now, and add more as the site, licence and finances allow.

  • Pre-designed units, added stage by stage
  • No oversized central plant built up front
  • Each stage in production before the next
How we start
03

Complete facility

From feasibility to first harvest, with Ontec as system integrator and one consortium behind one contract.

  • Feasibility, design, build and commissioning
  • Turnkey contracts under NS 8417
  • Operators trained before start-up
How a project runs
Plug and play

Pre-designed, not drawn from scratch.

The industry usually designs each land-based facility as one large, complex plant, from one corner to the next. Ontec starts from pre-designed tanks and modules, so most of the engineering is done before your project begins.

Planning

Simpler

Standard units with known footprints, connections and performance.

Interfaces

Fewer

Water treatment, piping and control come integrated with each unit.

Build time

Shorter

Piping pre-designed into each tank fundament, and construction that repeats from unit to unit.

Cost

Lower

Ontec puts capex at 60–70% of the industry average per kg.

Fits an existing site

One tank, its own treatment.

An independent production unit is one tank with its own water treatment beside it and its piping in the tank fundament. It can be placed next to existing tanks and buildings and connected to the site’s water supply and drains, with its own water and biology from day one.
