SeaWorld Aquatica Water Park

Ardurra designed life support systems for the world's largest marine park, utilizing artificial seawater, featuring sophisticated treatment infrastructure supporting a 3,800-cubic-meter whale and dolphin stadium, seal and penguin facilities, large marine aquarium, and numerous independent salt and freshwater exhibits. The facility required innovative water treatment technologies, ensuring optimal conditions for diverse marine species while maximizing artificial seawater recycling efficiency.

The advanced water systems integrate comprehensive treatment processes including re-circulation, aeration, biological ammonia and organic waste removal, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, chlorination, ozonation, and cooling systems. A sophisticated filter backwash recovery system within the 16 MGD main treatment plant achieves 99.9 percent artificial seawater recycling, minimizing operational costs while maintaining exceptional water quality standards.
