Transcription: My name is Rocky Perham I am the Facilities and Systems Engineering Manager here at Australis Aquaculture in Turners Falls Massachusetts. A huge problem exists in the world today with food supplies, water supplies at Australis we think we are able to make a significant contribution to the solution to those problems. We have a state-of-the-art facility that is predicated on the use of Bio-filtration, we are delighted to have Holliston partnering with us in this effort. They create a well-graded uniform sand that is used in the Bio-Filters. We are not using the sand from Holliston in the conventional means of using it as a filter to clean solids out of the water. We are actually using it as a habitat for micro-organisms, these beneficial bacteria populate the surface of the sand and live on it. They need a media to live on and the very uniformly graded sand that we have from Holliston is a perfect for the application. Description: Have you ever wondered how many uses can sand really have? Australis Aquaculture is the world's largest and only vertically-integrated barramundi producer, operating some of the most innovative and environmentally-friendly fish farms in the world. Holliston Sand has been partnering with Australis for a unique project, one that involves the smallest and often unnoticed "little helpers." Want to see how far the use of sand can really can go?
