🐟The Blue Economy CRC participants workshop is a great opportunity to dive into projects at the forefront of developing innovative marine technologies for a sustainable aquaculture and renewable energy future.
📅 4-6 June 2024
📍Kingscliff, Northern NSW
Rodney Thomson, engineering manager at Advanced Composite Structures Australia | ACS-A presented an update on the Robust Salmon Feed Delivery Systems project!
Salmon aquaculture requires reliable robust feed systems to avoid missed growth in fish. To enable use of more exposed offshore sites, ACS-A in partnership with the Blue Economy CRC, Tassal Group, University of Tasmania, Griffith University, Pacific ESI designed, manufactured and tested several feed pipes attachment systems under laboratory and field conditions.
👨Dr Rodney Thomson leads the ACS-A engineering team and is also responsible for quality management. He has over 25 years of experience in the design and implementation of composite structures for aerospace, maritime, land transport and energy applications. He is an internationally recognised expert specialising in composite design and optimisation, damage and failure modelling, composite structures for crashworthiness, bird-strike and energy absorption.
