At ESAM, we are proud to support environmentally conscious businesses like Barron River Redclaw, a leader in sustainable aquaculture. Under the direction of Rodney Ingersoll OBE, Barron River Redclaw exemplifies the essence of environmental stewardship and sustainability, operating a highly efficient aquaculture farm that goes beyond traditional practices to foster an ecosystem that thrives in harmony with nature.
Rodney’s farm is focused on true sustainability, supported by scientific data. At the heart of their operation is a commitment to applying sustainable living principles to aquaculture, which is evidenced in their “Paddock to Plate” practices. By recycling nutrient-rich wastewater, utilising solar power, and mimicking natural ecosystems, Barron River Redclaw is creating an environmentally sensitive farm that engages productively with the local community.
The Role of ESAM in Supporting Sustainable Operations
As a long-term supplier to the Barron River business, ESAM has played an important role in the farm’s sustainable setup. Our side channel blowers are integral to the farm’s daily operations, providing precise and reliable aeration for the ponds that house their redclaw freshwater crayfish. In aquaculture businesses, ESAM blowers are designed to perform critical tasks, delivering consistent oxygen to underwater piping systems with diffusers that create fine bubbles. This process is vital to maintaining a healthy environment for the redclaw, supporting their growth while minimising energy consumption.
ESAM side channel blowers are designed with durability in mind, ensuring they operate 24 hours a day, every day. They are manufactured to ISO 9001 standards in Italy and come with a market-leading 5-year warranty. With their low-maintenance design and high level of precision, ESAM blowers are the perfect solution for sustainable aquaculture businesses like Barron River Redclaw. The reliability of our products allows Rodney and his team to focus on the farm’s broader goals, including community engagement, education, and environmental stewardship.
Sustainability at the Core of ESAM
At ESAM, sustainability isn’t just a feature of our products; it’s embedded in our operational ethos. Since 2023, ESAM Australia has achieved 100% carbon neutrality through our sustainability partner, Trace. This is part of our larger commitment to sustainability, reflected in the use of 100% recycled aluminium in the manufacturing of our side channel blowers. Additionally, ESAM’s continuous improvement process in Italy focuses on reducing raw material usage, improving energy efficiency, and ensuring recyclability across our product lines.
Our support of Barron River Redclaw aligns perfectly with these principles. By providing high-quality, reliable equipment, we help our clients minimise their ecological footprint while maintaining efficient, cost-effective operations. This shared commitment to sustainability is what makes our relationship with Barron River Redclaw so rewarding.
Looking to the Future of Aquaculture
As Rodney continues to grow his operation and explore new possibilities, ESAM remains dedicated to supporting his efforts. Barron River Redclaw’s focus on environmental education and community involvement is exactly the kind of forward-thinking initiative that we believe will shape the future of aquaculture. We are proud to be part of their journey, helping them achieve their sustainability goals while creating a lasting impact on the environment and their local community.
