MAT Protein Skimmers – Foam Fractionators

Foam fractionators that strip dissolved organics and fine solids from recirculating seawater systems and large aquarium life support.

Product Information

Key Features

  • Removes about 90% of dissolved organics, proteins, fish food remains and tints from the water column, mechanically and continuously
  • Also strips fine particulate finer than 40 micron by attaching it to the rising foam — the fraction that drum filters and sand filters leave behind
  • Infuses oxygen and ozone through a low-pressure venturi set as it skims, cutting bacteria and microorganism counts in RAS and large aquarium life support systems
  • Cuts the load on downstream pressure sand filters, so they can run at a higher filtration velocity
  • Ozone dosing controlled and monitored by ORP probe as part of the water quality monitoring package
  • Auto-wash on both the inner and outer tube, plus automated foam level control and easy foam level fine tuning
  • Ten models from PSM-14 to PSM-1300 in robust fabrication, covering 2.7 to 690 m³/hr, with custom sizes available on request
  • Choosing your model: these skimmers are rated on the water flow you pass through them at a 2-minute dwell time — that is the reference condition for every flow in the table below, so match your recirculating flow to a model with that dwell time held. Because skimming also depends on protein loading, tell us your biomass and daily feed rate (or, for an aquarium, the display volume and stocking) as well; MAT does not publish a biomass or feed-load rating per model.
