Aquaculture filter with oxygenator SKIM

with pumppressure

The SKIM The SKIM allows for a treatment flow rate of 100m3/hour. It can alone treat 7.5 tons of shellfish in 24 hours. Oxygenation Artificial holding ponds are functional only if several parameters are met. Among these, oxygenation is paramount. This function is performed by the SKIM and results directly from the generation of micro-bubbles under pressure which bring optimum oxygen dissolution in the water. Filtration This is the primary function performed by the SKIM. The efficiency of the system results from a water-air exchange through the generation of micro-bubbles under pressure with a sub-micron filtration capacity. This means that all suspended matter – right down to micro-organisms (bacteria etc.) – is trapped in the extracted foam (specificity of the INNOPURE® technology).). The SKIM achieves a treatment throughput of 100 m3 /hour. It can alone treat 7.5 tons of shellfish in 24 hours. Currents If efficient purification is to be achieved, it is essential to treat the entire volume of water in the pond. To do this, a strong current is used to bring sedimented matter to be re-suspended and directed towards the SKIM. Thanks to its geometry (suction and 45-degree discharge), the SKIM system is perfectly suited for this function. In certain situations, we supplement this current pattern with the installation of a relay water circulator. Minimum maintenance The SKIM is characterized by the simplicity of its maintenance. In fact, since it has no filters, maintenance is limited to cleaning the foam collector and the plexiglass cone. A water supply connected directly to the cone is sufficient to maintain the SKIM in perfect working order.
