HFTS Technology& Engineering
The perfect balance between efficiency and simplicity. Hybrid systems that combine the best of flow-through and RAS technology.
Water Reuse
Lower Cost vs RAS
Years Experience
Higher Density
Why Choose HFTS?
HFTS combines the reliability of flow-through systems with partial recirculation for optimal efficiency
Balanced Water Use
20-50% water reuse - more efficient than flow-through, simpler than RAS
Lower Capital Cost
Significantly less investment than full RAS systems
Higher Density
Greater production capacity than traditional flow-through
Flexible Operation
Adjust recirculation rates based on water availability
When to Choose HFTS
Moderate Water Availability
You have some water access but not enough for pure flow-through
Lower Capital Budget
Full RAS investment is too high, but you want better efficiency
Proven Technology Preference
You prefer simpler, more proven technology over complex RAS
