Operational principle:
Zhongke's protein skimmers are designed as filter system which material of a common filter
system is replaced by air bubbles. The function is water enters the protein skimmer at the top
and flows down to the bottom. The air is introduced near the bottom by sucked in by an
injector (venturi) and small bubbles rise against the water stream to the top. The airflow
should be sufficient enough to fill the cross area of the protein skimmer.
When designing our protein skimmers, great attention was paid to obtain a relatively large
volume to get nearly laminar flow conditions. This is very important for the contacting of the
air bubbles to the protein compound as well as to the waste particles. When the air bubbles
have passed the reaction tube of the protein skimmer they reach the water level and together
with waste particles and proteins they form a viscous foam in which proteins link the air
bubbles and the waste particles.
What are the Main Advantages of a Protein Skimmer Compared to a Mechanical Filter?
1. The protein skimmer removes protein compounds and other organic substances before they
are decomposed to toxic substances.
2. Waste and toxic substances which have been foamed into the foam beaker are totally
seperated from the water and it's circuit!
3. Water which has passed the protein skimmer is purified of waste and furthermore highly
enriched with oxygen which is essential for aquaculture life!
Which Kind of water Can Be Equipped With a Protein Skimmer?
Protein skimmers can only be used in salt water aquaculture. The diagram below shows that already at a salt
concentration of only 10 per mille bubble diameters of less than 1 mm are found. This is of importance as the
smaller the air bubbles the better the contacting of the bubbles to waste particles. So protein skimmers do
not only work in water with a high salt concentration, as the Red Sea or Pacific water with 35 per mille and
more, but also in water of the eastern seas with only 15 per mille. In salt water there are good results for
quite different species of animals. So protein skimmers are used successfully for ornamental fish as well as
fish for food, in aquaculture recirculation system.
