We don't just build RAS facilities.
We run one.
ADEC designs, manufactures, builds and operates a fully commercial land-based fish farm — our own Milas Aquaculture Facility in Turkey. The same equipment we supply to clients runs in our own tanks, every day.
We have
skin in the game.
There is a question every serious RAS investor should ask a contractor: have you ever operated the type of facility you propose to build for me? Most cannot answer yes. ADEC can.
Turkey's first closed-circuit land-based fish farm — designed, built & operated by ADEC.
Designed by Us
Every system at Milas was engineered by the same ADEC team that will design your facility. The hydraulic models, equipment sizing and control logic developed there are applied — and continuously refined — in every new client project.
Built by Us
The tanks, biofilters, drum filters and mechanical systems at Milas were manufactured in our own Turkish factories and installed by our own site teams. The commissioning protocols developed here are now standard ADEC methodology.
Operated by Us — Every Day
Milas is a live operation. Our team manages water quality, feeding, health and maintenance daily. When we specify an access panel, a sensor port or a bypass valve, it is because our operators have needed one at 2am.
"You are not hiring a company that has studied RAS.
You are hiring one that runs it."
Your team trains on live equipment — before your facility opens.
As part of every ADEC project, the client's core operational team trains hands-on at Milas — on the same OCEANTECH™ equipment that will be installed in their facility, guided by our experienced operators. By handover day, your team already knows the equipment. They have handled it. No other RAS contractor can offer this.
Numbers that come from operating, not just engineering.
Inside ADEC land-based RAS
RAS questions, answered
A land-based RAS is an indoor, closed-loop fish-farming system that continuously filters, treats and recirculates its water instead of relying on the open sea or large ponds. It gives full control over temperature, oxygen, water quality and biosecurity — enabling high-density, year-round production almost anywhere, including inland sites across the GCC.
Yes. ADEC is a turnkey RAS supplier and contractor serving the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain from its Dubai office, with engineering and manufacturing in Turkey. We deliver everything from feasibility studies and facility design to OCEANTECH™ equipment, installation, commissioning and operator training.
ADEC does not only build RAS facilities — it owns and operates one. Our 23,327 m² Milas facility in Turkey is a live, closed-circuit fish farm where every product and process we sell is proven in real production, and where client teams can train on operating equipment before their own facility is handed over.
RAS is species-flexible. ADEC has hands-on experience with tilapia, trout, sea bass, sea bream, shrimp and ornamental species, and engineers each system around the client's target species, water source and production goals.
