NaturalShrimp, Inc.: La Coste, Texas, August Construction Update
Dallas, Texas, Aug. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- NaturalShrimp, Inc. (OTCQB: SHMP), the aqua-tech Company that has developed and patented the first commercially-operational RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture System) for shrimp, provides the following construction update:
Shrimp Production Building
The 40,000 square foot concrete pad is in place, building materials have arrived, and the initial 16-foot wall columns are going up. The Company has also installed two grow-out tanks and one nursery tank on the concrete pad. Visit the NaturalShrimp website at https://naturalshrimp.com/ and look in the Gallery section at the bottom of any page to see ongoing photos of the shrimp production building progress.
Water Treatment Plant
NaturalShrimp has also completed the conversion of the existing 8,000 square foot greenhouse structure into a water treatment plant building structure. This involved pouring a concrete walkway floor, upgrading the electrical wiring, adding overhead lighting, replacing the outer plastic covering with metal sheeting, insulating the inside surface areas, and waterproofing the three inground concrete tanks.
The patented electrocoagulation (EC) filtration system will operate in this plant. When operational, the water treatment plant will treat the shrimp wastewater as it circulates back and forth between the shrimp production building and the water treatment plant.
The Company has purchased and received three small EC systems that will later serve as emergency backup EC systems in the shrimp production facility. Adequate testing of incoming equipment requires shrimp on site. Rather than waiting for the completion of the shrimp production building, the Company has purchased and received a small number of Postlarvae (PL) shrimp for testing purposes. The three concrete tanks within the water treatment plant can hold about 130,000 gallons which are temporarily available for holding shrimp during testing of the equipment.
Visit the NaturalShrimp website at https://naturalshrimp.com/ and look under the News tab to see this press release including photos of the water treatment plant and the PLs recently received.
