Natural Zeolite and Shrimp Farming: A Sustainable Match

As global demand for shrimp continues to rise, the aquaculture industry is under pressure to improve production efficiency while maintaining environmental standards. One proven solution in sustainable shrimp farming is the use of natural zeolite, a mineral that plays a vital role in water quality management and ammonia control — both critical for shrimp health.

At PT Excellent Zeolit Indonesia (ZeoMining), we supply natural zeolite products in powder, chips, and granule form, mined and processed in Sukabumi, West Java. Our zeolite contains active mineral phases such as clinoptilolite and mordenite, with a high cation exchange capacity (CEC) of ±80–87 meq/100g, making it highly effective in shrimp pond applications.

✅ Benefits of Natural Zeolite in Shrimp Farming:

1. Ammonia Reduction
   Shrimp excrete waste in the form of ammonia, which can be toxic at high levels. Our zeolite absorbs ammonium ions (NH₄⁺), significantly reducing ammonia concentration in water and creating a healthier environment for shrimp.
2. Improved Water Clarity
   Zeolite granules help trap suspended solids and organic matter, leading to clearer water, better light penetration, and more stable pond conditions.
3. pH Stabilization
   The buffering capacity of natural zeolite helps stabilize pH fluctuations, which is essential to reduce shrimp stress and improve growth rates.
4. Odor Control
   By binding harmful gases like hydrogen sulfide, zeolite minimizes bad odors, especially in high-density farming.
5. Non-Toxic & Eco-Friendly
   Zeolite is a naturally occurring, inert mineral — making it safe for shrimp, other aquatic organisms, and the environment.

🧪 ZeoMining Zeolite – Tailored for Aquaculture

Our zeolite is available in:

• Powder (100 mesh) – for fast reactivity, ideal for quick ammonia reduction or water conditioning
• Chips (0.5–4 mm) – suitable for pond bottom spreading and filter beds
• Granules (2–5 mm) – excellent for long-term use in filtration systems and biofilters

All products are tested and supported by COA & XRD analysis to ensure consistency, effectiveness, and safety.

🌱 Natural Zeolite = Healthier Shrimp, Better Yields

Whether you’re managing small-scale shrimp ponds or commercial hatcheries, natural zeolite is a cost-effective solution to improve water quality, reduce chemical dependency, and enhance shrimp survival rates.
