JLH Consulting

Experience

JLH Consulting works with commercial aquaculture operators, developers, and investors who require discretion. Many projects are confidential by necessity and are not publicly disclosed.

For that reason, the experience described below reflects representative systems, applications, and operating contexts rather than named facilities. This approach mirrors how JLH works in practice: focused on system performance, operating efficiency, and long-term outcomes rather than promotion.

How to Evaluate JLH Experience

JLH’s experience is best understood through the systems it designs and the operating problems those systems are built to solve.

Rather than repeating the same conventional RAS layouts, JLH designs facilities around fluid dynamics, oxygen efficiency, and ultra-low head pumping. The result is a body of work defined by consistent engineering principles applied across different species, scales, and geographies.

Representative System Applications

Commercial Grow-Out Systems

JLH has designed and engineered RASWAY®-based grow-out systems for commercial production environments where energy cost, labor efficiency, and reliability directly impact profitability.

These systems are typically designed to:

  • Maximize usable water volume
  • Maintain uniform water quality throughout the production area
  • Reduce pumping head and energy demand
  • Simplify daily operation and management

Applications include both cold-water and warm-water species, with layouts tailored to site constraints, production targets, and regulatory requirements.

Nursery and Juvenile Systems

JLH designs nursery and juvenile systems where water quality stability and consistency are critical.

These systems often integrate seamlessly with downstream grow-out RASWAY® lanes and are engineered to:

  • Support high-density early life stages
  • Maintain consistent oxygen and solids management
  • Reduce handling stress and operational complexity

Design emphasis is placed on controllability, redundancy where appropriate, and ease of operation for farm staff.

Scale and System Characteristics

JLH systems are designed at true commercial scale.

Representative characteristics across projects include:

  • Multi-lane RASWAY® configurations per pumping system
  • Single-plane system layouts to minimize pumping stages
  • High recirculation rates are achieved with ultra-low head pumping
  • Integrated oxygenation and solids management are designed as part of the overall system, not added afterward

System sizes, volumes, and production targets vary by project, but all designs follow the same core principle: achieve required biological performance with the lowest reasonable energy and operational burden.

Retrofit and System Conversion Projects

Not all projects begin as greenfield builds.

JLH has worked on system retrofits and conversions where existing conventional RAS infrastructure is partially or fully reconfigured to improve performance. These projects typically focus on:

  • Reducing energy demand
  • Improving water movement and oxygen distribution
  • Replacing inefficient tank or raceway configurations
  • Integrating RASWAY® lanes into existing facilities

Retrofit work requires careful evaluation of constraints, sequencing, and operational continuity. JLH approaches these projects with a practical, site-specific mindset.

Geographic and Operating Contexts

JLH-designed systems are operating or have been deployed across multiple regions, including:

  • North America
  • Europe
  • Australia

This work spans a range of:

  • Climatic conditions
  • Water temperatures
  • Regulatory and permitting environments

Design decisions reflect local realities rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.
