Holliston Sand | Australis Aquaculture

My name is Rocky Perham I'm the Facility and Systems Engineering Manager here at Australis Aquaculture. In Turners Falls, Mass. A huge problem exists in the world today with food supplies, water supplies. At Australis, we think we're able to make a significant contribution to the solution to those problems. We have a state of the art facility that is predicated on the use of biofiltration. We are delighted to have Holliston partnering with us in this effort. They create a well graded uniform sand that's used in the biofilters. We're not using the sand from Holliston in the conventional means of using it as a filter to clean solids out of the water, we're actually using it as a habitat for microorganisms. These beneficial bacteria populate the surface of the sand and live on it. They need a media to live on, and the very uniformly graded sand that we have from Holliston is perfect for the application.
