SEAFRUIT DEPURATION LIMITED

Seafruit Depuration Limited is a Hong Kong local bivalve depuration technology company, combining biochemistry, microbiology, AI and automation to produce seafood that is safe and delicious, and has human health benefits.

Our purifying system deploys closed-loop recirculation technology with UV disinfection to minimise water usage during the depuration process. We feed our bivalves selenium-enriched algae to enhance their innate immunity to fight any pathogenic microbes that may have accumulated in their bodies, and remove biotoxins and heavy metals through our proprietary bioreactors.

Oysters are a wonderful food source, provide high nutritional value to humans, and help clean up the ocean. Oyster shells are made predominantly of calcium carbonate. Oysters also consume marine algae, which consume atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolved in seawater. These dual-engines can significantly lower greenhouse gases when deployed at a large scale.

We provide bivalve (e.g. oyster) depuration systems for retailers, distributors and farmers. This system not only enhances seafood safety, but also improves nutritional value and palatability, thus adding economic value to seafood production.
