It is a physical system (fixing disc) and a method that allows the rapid and continuous removal of solid waste that accumulates inside circular culture tank used in land-based aquaculture. The system optimizes the fluid-dynamic conditions that ensure the formation of the self-cleaning and mixing effect in the pond with low water and energy consumption. The removal of residues and mixing is carried out even when the fluid-dynamic conditions in the tank , the rotational speed of the water or the aspect ratio between the tank diameter and the height of the water, are not considered adequate or conventional according to the state of the art. The present technology does not require for its operation to generate values of circular velocity in the water that negatively affect the normal development of the species under cultivation, as well as it does not require structural modification of the existing tank .

The technology consists of a system for the injection of water into hydrobiological resource culture tanks. It allows effectively, efficiently, and in a minimal amount of time, to mix the water entering the tank, homogenize the quality of the water inside the tank, and facilitate its self-cleaning. Water Injection System for Aquaculture can be adjusted to modify the thrust force, direction, and dissolved oxygen supply. In addition, it uses software that allows predicting the effects of the system on the variables of circular velocity and mixing time inside the tanks.

It is a reactor for the treatment of water or other liquids based on an Advanced Oxidation process, with different working capacities depending on the volume requirements and characteristics of the fluid to be treated. It is a multifunctional water treatment system, which simultaneously removes ammonium, nitrite and dissolved organic matter, in addition to disinfecting the water continuously and stably. This reactor is called a "Photofilter".
