Shellfish Equipment Page - Skim
We are pleased to announce the introduction the UK of the new SKIM protein
skimmer from Acqua & Co, Italy.
The Skim was introduced in Europe more than a year ago and was initially used
in the shellfish industry for the depuration of mussels and other shellfish.
However, it has also proved invaluable in the foodstuffs industry in general
where it has been used for a number of applications in the recovery of valuable
food additives which would other-wise have been lost to waste.
What does Skim do?
|
- Injection
- Oxygenation
- Filtration under
pressure
- Registration of the
cupel
- Liquid foam formation
- Concentration and
evacuation
- Circulation: filtered
and oxygenated water
The foam produced is directed to a reaction chamber, is liquefied
and is evacuated far from the pond by pumping. The water, well
filtered and oxygenated, goes out of the system circulating through
the pond.
The foam mounts through an adjustable chimney and falls into the
condensation cupel.
This accumulated foam is condensate and liquefied. When reaching the
level, the liquid foam clicks on the switch to start the extraction
pump to evacuate the condensate by a pipe to a high volume tank.

Installation in a bi-valve
purification system: the SKIM is to be installed directly into the pond
to be treated or in a peripheric tank.
The system installed in the pond will supply a controlled oxygenation
(hours time) and an artificial water flow.
This application will guarantee an homogenisation of the water
temperature as well of the dissolved oxygen. Furthermore, the water flow
will re-suspend sediment of the bottom to be water inlet of the skim. |
