Aquaculture skimmer SKIM

OXYGENATION An artificial storage basin is only functional if several parameters are met. Among them, oxygenation is fundamental. This function is ensured by the SKIM and it stems directly from the microbubble under pressure bringing an optimal dissolution of the oxygen in the water. FILTRATION This is the main function performed by the SKIM. The efficiency of the system is the result of a water-air exchange by the creation of a micro bubbling under pressure system with a sub-micronic filtration. Thus, all the suspended matter, up to the microorganisms (bacteria ...) are trapped in the extracted foam (resulting from the Innopure process). The SKIM offers a treatment flow rate of 100m3/hour. It is capable of treating 7.5 tons of shellfish in 24 hours by itself. CURRENTS To obtain effective purification, it is essential to treat the entire volume of water contained in the basin. For this purpose, a strong current is used to re-suspend the sedimented material so as to direct it towards the treatment system (followed by the removal). Thanks to its geometry (suction and discharge oriented at 45°), the SKIM ensures this function perfectly. In some instances, we increase the current flow rate by installing a back-up water circulator. MINIMUM MAINTENANCE The SKIM is characterized by its ease of maintenance. Indeed, since there are no filters, the maintenance is limited to the cleaning of the foam recovery cup and plexiglas cone. A water supply directly connected to the cone is sufficient to keep the SKIM in perfect working order. No filter clogging is possible on the SKIM.
