How a Protein Skimmer/Foam fractionator works

Clarity™ consists of one integrated unit that performs several distinct functions:

  1. Reduces nitrate level and total ammonium nitrogen
  2. Aeration of water, restoring the right balance of O2, CO2 and N2 in the water
  3. Formation of foam containing organic compounds (DOC), ammonium and nitrogen
  4. Collects foam in the patented foam collection unit

Functions 1 – 3 occur in the trickle tower column, and function 4 is carried out in the patented foam collection unit.

Together, these functions result in a highly effective system for reduction of organic waste and result in high-purity water conditions.
