Abstract

The International Bulk Container (IBC) Aquaponics system is one of the most popular systems in today’s urban-farming for producing foods, such as leafy vegetable and fishes. The term consists of the words ‘Hydroponics’ and ‘Aquaculture’ to refer to the use of the IBC as a recycled raising fish tank and a plant grow bed in the way of sustainable circulation system. However, Aquaponics system has been difficult in the way of handling because of variants such as temperature control for general users. Therefore, in this study, the information system and its management were combined: firstly, to collect and transmit values of conditions in the system; and secondly, to design and develop an automated cooling water temperature into the smart and sustainable system. For the economic fish raising, for example, Tor douronensis or Pla Pluang Chomphu, a sensitive river fish in higher temperature was studied. Thus, the water temperature control system became the research focus. Our experiment results showed that the efficiency of the smart system, working more than 90% and the effectiveness of the smart system is 1.15 times higher than the normal aquaponics system from the offsprings values. Thus, it can be concluded that the Smart and Sustainable IBC aquaponics system is considerably improved from the normal IBC aquaponics system.
