Skimmers for Saltwater Applications
TMC Protein Skimmers
Tropical Marine Centre System Protein Skimmers
are designed for the effective removal of dissolved proteins
and other organic matter.
All units feature venturi gas injection via an included
dedicated venturi pump and are suitable for use with ozone.
Process water enters the top of the reaction chamber through
the side of the unit and leaves under gravity via an external
exit pipe.
A gate/ball valve on the exit pipe is used to control the
water flow and foam height inside the skimmer.
All units are designed to be sited alongside or above a system
reservoir.
All Tropical Marine Centre System Protein Skimmers feature our
unique, flexible double O-ring inlet and outlet boss system
for easy service and the simple removal and replacement of
pipework and components.

Flow rate
through a skimmer should not exceed the equivalent of the volume
of the contact chamber being exchanged in less than one minute.
Recommended system turnover through the skimmer should be at
least 1x total system volume per hour.
Ozone should be applied on an individual tank basis at the
equivalent of 5–15 mg/hour per 100 litres of volume. In
commercial applications, 0.05 mg ozone per litre of flow is
sufficient to achieve a recommended redox of 300–400 mV.
A much higher dose rate of 0.2–0.5 mg of ozone per litre of flow
is required to achieve redox levels of 700–800 mV at which the
water can be considered sterilised but unfit for livestock
without further treatment.
Wash Kits
All
Tropical Marine Centre System Protein Skimmers include a saltwater
cone wash system to prevent the build up of slime inside the foam
vent cone and an external freshwater rotating foam cup wash system
to rinse the collected skimmate to waste via the foam cup drain.
