OS- PS Protein skimmer

Description

OS-PS series protein skimmer

A protein skimmer is a device commonly used in aquarium and commercial fish farming to remove suspended or melted waste in aquaculture water using the principle of air flotation. The separation of proteins is a relatively simple process that relies on the physical and chemical properties of gels in water. This process It is carried out in a cylinder that can provide sufficient mixing of surface-active air bubbles and water. The mixing interface of water and gas is formed by continuously spraying tiny air bubbles into a certain proportion of water in the cylinder. The air bubbles are fully mixed with water and then follow the spiral. Float on the path to the surface of the water. As the bubbles travel, the suspended and dissolved organic matter in the water (protein is a specific organic matter) gathers at the contact interface of water and gas to form a dirt coat around the bubbles. Most of the water is removed in the upper part of the cylinder leaving only a concentrated foam composed mainly of organic matter, and the separation of the foamy dirt from the sanitary system undoubtedly reduces the biological oxygen consumption in the aquatic system. The protein skimmer is essentially a non-stop backwashing filter. Whether from a physical or chemical point of view, the protein skimmer can increase the oxygen content of the system: chemical oxygen consumption Carbon (protein) is limited, and some bacteria in the water are removed along with the organic matter; from a physical point of view, the cylinder has a large surface area and the injection of a large amount of gas (in the form of tiny bubbles) creates a space for gas exchange. A small amount of ozone can be added in this process to oxidize and destroy ammonia nitrogen and effectively kill and sterilize. Protein skimmers become very popular components in modern life support systems.
