5. Turboflotor 10000
Protein skimmer for aquaria up to 10,000 litres
5.1. Application
The Turboflotor 10000 is designed for larger tanks in public aquaria and for commercial use for pet
fish importers and distributors. It is used for closed aquaculture systems such as import or export
holding units for lobster, crayfish and oysters, as well as for fish breeding or growing on fingerlings of
commercial fish or shrimp.
5.2. Basics
During the protein skimming process, organic pollutants in the aquarium water i. e. protein
compounds formed by the excretions of animals, are attached to fine air bubbles as a mono-molecular
film. These air bubbles are pushed against the inflowing water in the reaction pipe so that there is a
long contact time. Enriched with organic substances, they rise to the top and form a strong foam
which is dehydrated in the reaction pipe and then passes into the collection cup. Using this method,
removal of organic pollutants from the aquarium water takes place whereas during bacterial processes
they are merely transformed and not removed.
