Protein Skimmers

Protein Skimming

Protein skimming, or foam fractionation, is the process by which dissolved and particulate organic carbons are removed from a liquid, by adsorbing them onto the surface of fine bubbles rising in a closed contact column against a countercurrent water flow.

The bubbles burst and form stable foam at the top of the water column and the accumulated organic wastes are discharged from the column along with the foam produced.

Benefits of Protein Skimming

• Removal of suspended solids

• Removal of proteins and high molecular weight compounds

• Increased water clarity through removal of humic and phenolic compounds

• Increased oxygenation of the culture water

• pH stabilisation through removal of organic acids

Ultra compact, space-saving design – small footprint is ideal for sumps with limited space.

Highly efficient cylinder body design ensures optimum water-to-air contact time.

Unique integrated air intake silencer - ensures whisper quiet operation.

High performance bubble diffusion plate – ensures uniform dispersal of micro fine air

bubbles across the entire skimmer column.

Extremely low power consumption.

Quick and easy removal of the pump.

Reef Pump SK with variable speed control and feed function

Compact

Designed for reef aquaria

Unique integrated air intake silencer ensures whisper quiet operation

High performance bubble difusion plate ensures uniform dispersal of micro fine air bubbles across the entire skimmer column with remote control

Innovative in-base water outlet design allows water to exit the protein skimmer body through the base increasing the air-water contact time within the skimmer and reducing both noise and the amount of micro bubbles escaping the body.
