​​High Impact Engineers is a community of engineers trying to have a large positive impact on the world.

​​​​​Tech x FAW is a monthly discussion regarding technological solutions to address the suffering of farmed animals around the world.

​​​​​What is happening?

​​​​​Join us for another Tech x FAW group discussion! This month, we will be discussing the problem of CO₂ removal in intensive aquaculture.

​​​​​The topic

​Carbon dioxide accumulation is a persistent constraint in intensive aquaculture systems, particularly in RAS, nurseries, and oxygen-supplemented trout and marine production systems.

​Unlike low-density flow-through systems where oxygen is limiting, intensive systems maintain oxygen at non-limiting levels, making CO₂ the primary dissolved gas constraint affecting fish welfare and performance. Even relatively low concentrations (~10–15 mg/L depending on species and salinity) can cause physiological stress, making continuous CO₂ removal a critical design requirement.

​​​​​Should I prepare anything?

​​​​Join the discussion for this event over the Impact Forge. This is where we will crowdsource any cool resources we come across! If you can, spend a little time reading up on this topic ahead of time.

​​​​​The Impact Forge is the new forum of the High Impact Engineers community. Check it out!

​​​​Who should come?

​​​​Anyone who is interested in the discussion is welcome, including technical and non-technical people!
