Aker QRILL trawler and Fjell Technology Group

Dryers and meal coolers for production of premium proteins and nutrition

Aker QRILL is the world’s leading krill company, delivering premium ingredients for human and animal nutrition. When Aker QRILL set out to maximize the value of their krill harvesting onboard a new trawler, they turned to Fjell Technology Group for a solution that could deliver premium proteins and nutrition —right at sea.

Fjell Technology Group was selected by the process plant supplier Andersen Process Consulting AS (APC) to deliver the complete drying and meal cooling systems. We've been part of a proud Norwegian team working together to provide a seamless, integrated solution for Aker QRILL Company. This collaboration further reinforces the position of Fjell Technology and APC as competitive, world class suppliers of process plant and equipment on a global scale.

The compact, high-performance system transforms krill into premium products, directly onboard the vessel—saving time, reducing waste, and increasing profitability. We're excited to see the trawler come into operation.

This project is a testament to Fjell’s commitment to tailored engineering, and sustainable innovation by contributing to energy-efficiency, maximised yield and minimised waste.
