Whilst Billund Aquaculture declared bankruptcy earlier this year, largely due to ongoing financial impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, Sørensen and a team of experts from his previous venture have announced plans to revolutionise RAS technology through a new company, Billund Aquatech.

“Our vision is to continue advancing the RAS industry by leveraging our proven experience and expertise to create the most reliable and efficient aquaculture systems globally. We are excited to embark on this new journey with a team that has been at the forefront of RAS innovation for decades, and we are confident that together we will achieve significant growth and success over the next five years,” said Sørensen, according to Seafood Source.

Despite being curtailed by financial woes, Billund Aquaculture did indeed make a name for itself within the aquaculture community prior to its bankruptcy, installing over 130 systems across more than 20 countries, even installing a cutting-edge RAS system for the innovative land-based shrimp producer Aquapurna, in Germany.

Looking to the future, Sørensen seems keen to build on these achievements and deliver solid results to aquaculture producers across the world.

“Billund Aquatech and its partners are ready to redefine the future of RAS technology, focussing on innovative project designs, operational excellence, and the delivery of specialised equipment. The team’s extensive experience ensures that every project will be executed with precision, reliability, and a commitment to sustainability,” he concluded.
