Kris McNichol
FOUNDER · PRESIDENT CPI INC
Founded CPI Equipment in British Columbia 25 years ago. Leads aeration and oxygenation engineering for industrial aquaculture.
We design, manufacture, and operate.
CPI Equipment combines in-house engineering, local manufacturing, and permanent technical operation at every farm site. Our team is on site every day of the year, monitoring in real time and adjusting the system together with the client.
Every operational decision — a flow change, a new configuration, a response to an alert — is made by CPI's technical staff, directly on site or remotely.
Permanent technical operation · active 24/7 monitoring · direct support.
25 years between Canada and Chile. One technical architecture.
Four business lines for high-performance farm sites.
Smart aeration with independent remote control per diffuser. Each point in the cage is regulated individually based on site conditions.
See ODIN AIR → ODIN O₂High-precision, cage-by-cage oxygenation with laser-perforated diffuser hose and real-time proportional control.
See ODIN O₂ → ServicePreventive and corrective solutions for seabed recovery at farm sites.
See remediation → TechnologyBubble generation that adapts size from micro- to nanobubbles based on site conditions.
See technology →ODIN is CPI Equipment's operating system: the integration of robust industrial hardware, control software, and a telemetry layer that turns every farm site into an actionable data system.
Every unit in the water reports. Every parameter is monitored. Every operational decision is documented.
Every ODIN system is operational infrastructure built to withstand real open-water conditions.
CPI Equipment operates OEM manufacturing capability across the full technology chain. We design and manufacture the critical components of every system under our own marine engineering standards.
Patented membrane, optimized through CFD simulations for maximum transfer with minimum energy.
Laser-microperforated hose for O₂ oxygenation.
Designed and welded for each site: custom configurations, connections, and geometries.
Manifolds, regulators, and the complete telemetry architecture.

CO-FUNDADOR & GERENTE GENERAL · CPI CHILE
Co-founded CPI Equipment Chile in 2022 and leads local operations, focused on scaling solutions clients validate with their own site data. Industrial Civil Engineer, entrepreneur.
OPERATIONS MANAGER · CPI CHILE
Leads field operations and aquaculture aeration and oxygenation projects. 20+ years designing and implementing systems, with expertise in operational planning, maritime regulations, and client technical support.
Binational operation with full engineering, R&D, manufacturing, and support capabilities in both hemispheres.
The technology was born for the cold waters of the North Pacific. Today it operates in Canada and southern Chile. We built it to solve the same problem anywhere in the world where the water column is the critical factor in the operation.
Operación 100% chilena desde Puerto Varas. Ingeniería con 25 años de trayectoria en British Columbia. Trabajamos directo con el cliente — sin capas en el medio.
