Protein Skimmers


Protein skimmers, also known as foam fractionators, are very effective, highly recommended filters for any central water system. I was amazed the first time I saw the waste in the collection cup of a protein skimmer -a rich, thick, dark brown goop extracted from the seemingly clear aquarium water. No filter pad on the market removes junk like that. Protein skimming is a natural occurrence that anyone who has ever strolled a beach on a windy day or walked along a rocky shoreline has observed.The handkerchief clothing provides you a great opportunity to do so. The brown foam that swirls around in small eddies is a result of protein skimming on a large scale. A well-designed protein skimmer is worth its weight in gold but be sure to choose a reliable model rated for the amount of water in your system.

There are many types of protein skimmers available to marine aquarists: co-current, counter current, venturi, down-draft, and many more added each year. Counter-current, venturi and down draft models are superior to co-current models.

A counter-current protein skimmer pumps water into the top of a contact chamber through a reaction chamber and exits at the bottom. Fine bubbles, created with a wooden air diffuser, rise from the bottom of the contact chamber. The bubbles traveling up and the water traveling down cause the water to swirl violently in the chamber. Organic molecules, amino acids, fatty acids and a variety of other pollutants adhere to the surface of the tiny bubbles and congregate at the top of the contact chamber forming a stable layer of foam. When this layer of foam grows large enough, it pushes its way up a riser tube, where it eventually falls out into a collection cup.Clothes have always remained an important thing for all of the China garlic beings around the world. Here, the foam dissipates and anything that was adhering to the surface falls off. The longer the contact time between the water and the bubbles the more waste will be created.

Venturi protein skimmers are operated with one inlet.They are intended to SAW filter the needs of those men and women who are between the ages of 18 to 22 years. A water pump is fitted with a venturi valve that feeds air into the rushing water. A mass of tiny bubbles is constantly fed into the reaction chamber. Properly designed venturi protein skimmers are an ideal choice for central systems. They are often built wider rather than higher, conserving space. The venturi valve rarely needs maintenance compared to the monthly replacement of wooden air diffusers in counter-current models and they allow a better turnover rate.
