AHAS Thailand Lab

The AHAS Thailand lab

This video presents a glimpse into our laboratory, elucidating the advantages of aquaponics and detailing the diverse range of products offered by AHAS.

The laboratory serves as the hub for a comprehensive range of equipment, processes optimization, and plant experimentation. Furthermore, we have compiled a database that records monthly production figures for a diverse array of vegetables.

Testing new plants

Our research laboratory is continuously utilized to test novel concepts and plants.

In 2023, we initiated an extensive testing phase for cultivating medicinal cannabis. This video is our second experiment after 8 weeks in the system. 

Experimental facilities and major projects milestones

Our perception of reality is solely based on our observations, leading us to conduct experiments. Even though it may take up to a year to conduct a thorough test on a plant or equipment, we remain steadfast in our pursuit of knowledge.
AHAS’s history commenced in 2015 when two visionary individuals resolved to introduce a global solution for cultivating nutritious food.

CPDC phase 3

2025 - today

The resounding success of the Child Protection and Development Center (CPDC) in Pattaya leads to the receipt of another substantial grant from Germany, which enables the doubling of farm production. The upgrade, comprising four additional lines fabricated from MITduo is installed within a few days.
The farm is integrated into the Center’s educational program and transitions into a commercial operation, supplying the surplus produce to local restaurants. 
AHAS is fully operating the farm for the first 6 months after the upgrade.

The Child Protection and Development Center in Pattaya secures a grant from Johnson&Johnson and Lufthansa to construct an aquaponics farm. A comprehensive three-phase project design is subsequently finalized. AHAS joins the sponsor team by generously providing some equipment, facilitating the commencement of the first phase of construction.

Expansion of the Malaysia farm

Shortly after constructing the farm within their Research Complex, the Malaysian Government requests AHAS to expand its operations within both the greenhouses designated for aquaponics.
The existing equipment undergoes a second reconfiguration into a specialized unit dedicated to cultivating tall plants, such as tomatoes. Additionally, more MIT personnel are mobilized to construct a second unit dedicated to producing smaller vegetables.

The Malaysian farm is relocated to a Government agricultural research facility in Kuala Lumpur, where two greenhouses are allocated for Aquaponics research. An experiment is already underway in one of these greenhouses. AHAS relocates the equipment from the first farm in Malaysia to this new location. Within less than two weeks, the farm resumes operations.

Our initial farm in Malaysia is constructed within a housing area building. The farm’s limited sunlight exposure, averaging only five hours per day, significantly hinders its efficiency. Consequently, the farm is relocated a few months later to a suitable greenhouse environment.

After several years of laboratory experiments, the AHAS Team decides to construct a large-scale aquaponics farm in Thailand. The MIT design is still in the prototyping phase, so this farm is built with conventional equipment in five months. A similar facility could be built in less than two weeks with MIT.
This farm is utilized for numerous large-scale production experiments and hydraulics testing for three years until the construction of a highway commences only 10 meters away, necessitating its closure. 
An extensive farm design expertise is acquired during our tenure on this farm.

Regis constructs a hydroponics laboratory but is dissatisfied with its results and swiftly transition it to aquaponics. This transformation enables numerous experiments to be conducted, focusing on the balance of aquaponics, the efficiency of growbeds, water circulation and oxygenation, and the solid waste filtration and treatment processes.

First large farm size test

More details

Our first commercial aquaponics farm was constructed in 2017. The MIT was still in the development phase, necessitating the use of conventional techniques for farm construction. The process spanned five months. Notably, if MIT had been employed during this phase, the construction could have been completed in approximately ten days, thereby significantly reducing labor costs.

This farm was utilized for numerous large-scale production experiments and hydraulics testing for three years. An extensive farm design expertise is acquired during our tenure on this farm.

Regrettably, we were compelled to close the farm in 2019 due to the construction of a three-lane highway just ten meters away. Consequently, all equipment was lost. Had we utilized MIT for farm construction, we could have easily relocated the farm at a relatively low cost and with minimal losses.

For the subsequent years, we focused on projects in Malaysia and constructed minor projects in Thailand, while simultaneously continuing our experiments in the Thai and Indonesian laboratories.
