The neomar GmbH is a spin-off from the Sander Holding, one of the leading companies for the development and construction of water treatment units for marine land-based recirculating systems worldwide and has 40 years of experience in this area. The systems reach volumes up to several thousand cubic meters which are operated inland without access to natural seawater.

Marine aquariums by Sander
Many public and private aquariums use components, expertise and concepts of Sander which have stand the test of time since 1972 with the construction of the first marine recirculating system in an aquarium in North Germany. Sander has played an active role in shaping marine aquariums, for instance in Berlin, Oberhausen, Hannover, Constance, Warsaw, Porto, Lake Garda, Bergen or Moscow. These systems are operated with artificial seawater and a very low water exchange. Exchange rates of 1% of the system volume per day are now the standard.

The expertise of Sander was utilized in cooperation with scientific institutions to develop the innovative oceanloop concept: land-based, marine recirculating systems which can be operated inland without access to natural seawater.
The feasibility of this technology has been proven by several research and demonstration systems. The production system PISA, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF), has been operated for 6 years under scientific supervision in Uetze/Eltze (Hannover region) and has delivered significant findings for the inland production of seafish.
- Marine Fishfarm Voelklingen
Marine Fishfarm Voelklingen (MFV)
In spring 2009 the Marine Fishfarm Völklingen (MFV) was established on a previous coking plant site in Völklingen-Fürstenhausen. There the technology is used for the first time in a large-scale commercial farm for the land-based production of seafish. The goal of MFV is to produce marine fish species as European sea bass, Gilthead seabream, Russian sturgeon and Yellowtail kingfish. In four independent production lines approx. 500 tons of fish are produced per year.
The MFV is embedded in a comprehensive material and energy recycling system. In the first phase, sludge is used in a neighboring biogas plant. The waste heat during the biogas conversion into electricity is used to heat up the fish farm.
A research and develoment farm is already in operation in order to use it for research and education together with the College of Technology and Economy of the Saarland (HTW). The already initiated research projects are embedded in a comprehensive national and international network of excellence.
