FRESHWATER PROTEIN SKIMMERS

PROTEIN SKIMMERS FOR Freshwater fish farmer

Freshwater Protein Skimmer for Fish Farmers and Aquariums: A Game-Changer in Water Quality Management

A Freshwater Protein Skimmer is a specialized device developed for use in freshwater aquariums and fish farming systems. It is designed to remove organic waste, excess proteins, and other harmful compounds from the water, ensuring a clean and healthy environment for your fish and aquatic life. Traditionally used in saltwater systems, protein skimmers have now been optimized for freshwater tanks and are quickly becoming an essential tool for aquarium enthusiasts and fish farmers alike.

Benefits of Freshwater Protein Skimmers

Improved Water Quality: A protein skimmer helps remove dissolved organic compounds before they decompose, reducing ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates in the water.
Healthier Fish: By maintaining cleaner water, freshwater protein skimmers lower the risk of disease, leading to healthier, more vibrant fish.
Reduced Maintenance: Less frequent water changes are required, saving you time and effort in maintaining your aquarium or fish farming system.
Clear Water: The removal of organic particles results in crystal-clear water, enhancing the aesthetic of your aquarium.

Why Choose a Freshwater Protein Skimmer?

For freshwater fish farms and aquariums, balancing water quality can be challenging. Organic waste, such as fish waste, uneaten food, and decaying plants, can accumulate and harm the delicate balance of the water. Freshwater protein skimmers work to remove these harmful substances efficiently, creating a healthier, more stable aquatic environment.

ENGINEERING & OPERATION

The Freshwater protein skimmer / foam fractionator produces fine and thick constant air bubbles in order to generate sufficient skimming. The skimmer is installed in pre-smolt stage freshwater tanks. This is the stage that farms need better water parameters to achieve optimal salmon growth. The concern is that these pre-smolt tanks run on fresh water and traditional protein skimmers could not achieve significant foam fractionation.

Our design and engineering department spent over 12 months testing different venturi injectors on skimmer bodies while feeding tank water with special venturi pumps to obtain the needed pressure and achieve high levels of air infusion into the water cyclone within the skimmer body. After many trials and FEA studies, our fresh water protein skimming is now achieving equal if not better to salt water viscous results.

How Does a Freshwater Protein Skimmer Work?

Unlike traditional filters, protein skimmers use foam fractionation to trap and remove organic molecules before they break down. Freshwater protein skimmers have been adapted to suit the unique chemistry of freshwater, making them more efficient in these environments.

ADVANCED PRESMOLT FRESHWATER FILTRATION EQUIPMENT

It is very important that our fresh water protein skimmers contribute significantly to farms biosecurity by obtaining far better water parameters to existing tanks. Our equipment is designed from scratch and delivers the best quality of protein removal from any other equivalent foam fractionator in the market. Better water quality results to more fish and feed in the same tank.

AUTOMATIC FOAM LEVEL CONTROLLER FOR PROTEIN SKIMMERS

The new freshwater protein skimmer has an upgraded body, high efficiency protein cap collector, higher head pump, new specially designed Venturi and optionally, we offer foam level automated controllers. The new automation is a must-have addition for those farms that seek to operate under controlled fresh water conditions.
