Skimmer

Protein Skimmer for Aquariology and Aquaculture

The protein skimmer, also known as a foam fractionator, is an essential device in aquatic systems used to remove dissolved organic matter, nitrogenous waste, and unwanted compounds before they degrade into harmful substances. In both aquariology (public or private aquariums) and aquaculture (fish or invertebrate farming), the skimmer plays a crucial role in maintaining water quality and supporting a healthy environment for aquatic life.

Operating through microbubble injection, the skimmer traps organic particles and proteins that adhere to the bubbles' surfaces and are then collected as foam in a dedicated cup. This process reduces biological load, improves oxygenation, and limits harmful bacterial growth.

Benefits:

  • Significant reduction of organic waste

  • Improved water clarity and stability

  • Lower maintenance of biological systems

  • Enhanced growth and health conditions for cultured species

The skimmer is thus an indispensable component for professional aquaculture systems as well as large-scale technical aquariums.

Skimmers are often used as reactors or contact chambers in ozone treatment systems. Air or an air/ozone mixture is introduced into the reactor through injectors or diffusers and rises to the surface as fine bubbles. During this upward phase, gas exchange occurs, and larger molecules and suspended particles are carried away, eventually being removed as foam at the top of the reactor.
Materials: acrylic reactor, PE or PP, PVC piping.
