EMYG SKIM - Filtration System

Oxygenation
Arti?cial holding ponds are functional only if several parameters are met. Among these, oxygenation is paramount. This function is performed by the SKIM and results directly from the generation of micro-bubbles under pressure which bring optimum oxygen dissolution in the water.

Filtration
This is the primary function performed by the SKIM. The ef?ciency of the system results from a water-air exchange through the generation of micro-bubbles under pressure with a sub-micron ?ltration capacity. This means that all suspended matter – right down to micro-organisms (bacteria etc.) – is trapped in the extracted foam (specificity of the INNOPURE® technology).). The SKIM achieves a treatment throughput of 100 m3 /hour. It can alone treat 7.5 tons of shellfish in 24 hours.

Currents
If ef?cient puri?cation is to be achieved, it is essential to treat the entire volume of water in the pond. To do this, a strong current is used to bring sedimented matter to be re-suspended and directed towards the SKIM. Thanks to its geometry (suction and 45-degree discharge), the SKIM system is perfectly suited for this function. In certain situations, we supplement this current pattern with the installation of a relay water circulator.

Minimum maintenance
The SKIM is characterized by the simplicity of its maintenance. In fact, since it has no ?lters, maintenance is limited to cleaning the foam collector and the plexiglass cone. A water supply connected directly to the cone is suf?cient to maintain the SKIM in perfect working order. No ?lter clogging is possible with the SKIM.

The SKIM is made up of 3 motors and features minimum electrical consumption and limited maintenance

• Marine bronze immersed hydro-injector
• Plastic extraction pump with stainless steel shaft
• Centrifugal system

Power consumption inferior to 1.5 kW/h since the sunction pump has an alternated functioning.
