Product Service
At Tankmaker.com, we engineer Aquaponics Factory (the Factory-based Aquaponics farming system) that merge RAS with AI-driven hydroponics - delivering more food, less waste, and faster ROI than classic farming. Product 1 - Shrimp Aquaponics Factory, size: 1,500 m2 Product 2 - Rice Aquaponics Factory, size: 80,000 m2 (8 Ha Area)
Product 1 - Shrimp Aquaponics Factory 1,500m2 @ US$8.7 million
Aquaponics is a combination of aquaculture together with growing vegetables and crops without the use of fertilizers. Aquaponics Factory is the Vertical farming of Aquaponics developed by Tankmaker.com Team in year 2022. (Pictures illustrated in this section are taken from the shrimp Aquaponics Factory project design and delivered by Tankmaker.com team in year 2023). The aim of commercial-scale Aquaponics Factory is to improve sustainability and attain ultra- productivity concomitant with lowering environmental emissions.

Product 2 - Rice Aquaponics Factory 8 Ha @ US$ 40 million
Tankmaker.com Group have successfully incorporated Rice module into Aquaponics Factory through the Polyconics Approach. This could reduce both the Startup costs & Production Cost drastically (Rice Module will be the near free by-product from Aquaponics Factory). It is done through technologies break through on Polyconics, Integrated RAS & Decoupled Green-Wall. Rice Aquaponics Factory could offer 4 products in a single production process (1-Rice, 2-Crops lettuce, 3-Giant River Prawn & 4- Tilapia).
Product Specification of Rice Aquaponics Factory
Application: Industrial-scale Polyponics Aquaponics Production; for producing rice, red tilapia, Giant River prawn, and lettuce together within a controlled environment.
The system leverages natural sunlight with supplemental LED lighting for cloudy days.
Made: Tankmaker.com Group
Total farmhouse area: 80,000 m² (8 hectares)
Annual production capacity:- Lettuce: up to 2,320 metric tons- Red Tilapia: up to 1,100 metric tons (half capacity)- Jade Perch: up to 1,100 metric tons (half capacity)- Giant River Prawn: up to 233 metric tons- Rice: up to 400 metric tons
System Design and Features:The factory integrates a dual-option RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture System) for tilapia and jade perch with decoupled green-wall beds for crops.
Polyponics configuration ensures optimal water, nutrient, and energy flow, improving both growth and sustainability.
The Farm ERP Dashboard integrates IoT sensor data, water quality monitoring, and crop/fish growth algorithms. AI models predict nutrient balance, harvesting schedules, and resource efficiency for real-time operational optimization.
Following are the Advantages
1) 50% Startup Costs Reduction Rice Aquaponics allow expansion of rice module to another 4ha land area with no increase in investment. This will bring the average Start up cost reduce by 50%, from US$1,000 psm to US$500 psm.
2) Massive Revenue Increase The Polyponics Approach provide additional stream of income through adding 400MT of rice. Eventually, the profit will be proportional increased ROI period will be shorter.
3) 20 Times Increase in Rice Productivity as Support to Food SecurityThe add-on Rice is the stable food that able to contribute to food security through the 2,000% increase in productivity. In comparison to the conventional rice yield of 5 MT/Ha.yr, the added rice produce from aquaponics factory will be 100MT/Ha.yr (total 400 MT/yr)
4) 50% Reduction in Cost-To-ProduceRide on the merit of Aquaponics, the Cost-to-Produce for rice will be US$0.52/kg, 50% less than the market rice paddy Cost-to-Produce at US$1/kg. This is because the rice paddy plants is able to capitalize on sunlight to facilitate photosynthesis directly; coupled with less nutrient need (twice for the 120 days grow cycle), tremendous energy will be saved.
Financial SummaryTotal investment: US$40 million (excluding land)
Expected ROI: Within 5 years
Revenue potential: Over US$20 million annuallyIncludes equipment, infrastructure, staffing, ERP system, and reserves.
