Our Milestones
2019 - The AHAS Farm in Gombak, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
We built the Malaysia AHAS Farm in Kuala Lumpur in December 2019. It started to produce 3 weeks after, and since January 2020 we have completed numerous production tests for various crops. The farm is also conducting tests that are part of our R&D process, and is scheduled for additional MIT lines upgrade to be completed in June 2020.
2019 - The First Aquaponics unit in a hotel in Singapore
AHAS built an Aquaponics Farm on the fifth floor of the Fairmont Hotel Singapore. This was the first AHAponics farm ever built in a Hotel in Singapore. This Unit supplies the Fairmont, Swissotel, and Raffles Hotels restaurant with healthy and very low carbon footprint natural products for the benefit of all guests.
2018 - Pinky Aquaponics Lab in Indonesia receives its Ultimate MIT system
The fist MIT Ultimate system is installed in Indonesia. Deva is so proud or her results and amazed by the performance of the AHAS MIT system. “So easy to install, great performance, and very low maintenance".
2018 - The first 30MIT
A 30MIT unit is built in Bangkok in under 3 days by two people.
2018 - Domestic system in Bangkok
A Family system is installed in a nice backyard in south Bangkok
2018 - The MIT Gen3
The MIT Gen3 is an evolution and includes all learning from the MIT Gen2 prototype. Better manufacturing techniques tested in this white prototype.
Numerous new features are included Two working hight options, 45cm and 90cm. The option to create dual layer MIT so that we can have a fish tank under an MIT90. Filtration and Mineralization feature. A support structure and roofing option is added. All these feature are built in the same principle of assembly with no hand tools.
2017 - The MIT Gen2
Clearly, Deep Water Culture is the safest and most performing system to grow vegetables aquaponically. The large amount of water brings biological and thermal stability.
We unfortunately could not find any equipment to easily build Deep Water Culture lines. So the MIT concept was created, the patents were launched, and the manufacturing network developed.
2016 - First AHAS Commercial Unit
Built in 5 months with welded galvanized structures, fiber boards, and plastic liners. It would have taken less than 15 days to build the same unit with MIT.
After 2 years of laboratory development, the AHAS team built its first commercial unit in Pak Chong. The site was selected for its relative proximity to Bangkok and its expected cold climate.
The latter was found to be erroneous. We experienced cold winters with water at 23-25 degC. But we also experienced very hot summer during which the water climbed up to 32 degC. We therefore learned AHAponics in various climates.
After 3 years of operations, this unit was moved for various reasons. It was not built with MIT and it started to deteriorate quickly. A major highway was being built over it.
2016 - Lab in Indonesia
It was important to test our processes in different environments.
The Indonesia lab has been operating in Balikpapan since 2016. Its focus is on the plant side. Its purpose is to study and optimise the aquaponics growing process from seeding to harvesting. Study fish and plant behaviour in different environments, and push the limits of aquaponics to grow plants in unconventional climate environment, for example strawberries in a hot climate.
Deva has been incredibly successful in all her tests. She has also developed some enzymes that are important to enable a mix of reproductive and vegetative plants in a domestic system.
2015 - First Lab in Bangkok
After a few months of Hydroponics experiments, Regis built his first Aquaponics Unit in Bangkok. The objective was to validate all concepts learned from others. We found the about 70% of the published informations, or taught in training courses, were totally erroneous.
Hence the important to validate all basic concepts in our labs. By doing this, we not only have been able to select the best Aquaponics growing techniques and discard the inefficient ones, but we also learned and developed many processes associated to our AHAponics system.
In our Bangkok lab, we tested a very large variety of equipment and growing media, filtration systems, mineralization systems, oxygenation systems, hydraulics performance and requirement.
The AHAS-HQ lab was moved to Chonburi in 2018 and rebuilt using MIT. It has been operated for 2 years with no issue and very minimum cleaning.
