Facts
What is Protein Skimming?
Protein skimming is a method to efficiently remove waste materials from
seawater by adhesion of dissolved organic substances to fine air
bubbles. The combined rising of the dirt covered air bubbles and the
turbulence inside a skimmer create a stable foam that is pushed into a
collection cup. The benefit of a protein skimmer lies in the fact that
once the waste materials are skimmed off, they are removed from the
water flow, preventing these waste products from being decomposed to
nitrate and phosphate. Protein skimmers also reduce the amount of
harmful free floating bacteria. The main factors effecting skimming are
the following: Quantity and size of the air bubbles, contact time
between air and water and sufficient turbulence to create a stable foam.

The Patented Technology
(developed by the Julich Research Center of the German Institute of
Technology) incorporated into the Red Sea BERLIN Skimmer has resulted in
a unique, compact design that is more effective than skimmers twice the
size, removing low concentrations of protein that other skimmers can't. MORE....
