HOW SKIM WORKS

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 liquified 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 condensated and liquified. 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.

SKIM IN OPERATION
Installation in a bivalve purification pond	Installation: 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 resuspend sediment of the bottom to be water inlet of the skim.

DIFFERENT STAGES ABOUT FORMATION AND SUCTION OF THE FOAM
1 - Overflow under pressure of the foam inside the cupel	2 - The foam is condensated and spread in the cupel
3 - The foam is trapped in the cupel	4 - The trapped foam melts
5 - The foam is totally melted and suction starts	6 - Cupel after suction
The foam produced, melted and pumped contains all the particles and the pollutant elements of the water. The remaining liquid is to be stocked or evacuated far from the pond, in order to avoid a return in the treatment water.

EXAMPLE OF DIFFERENT ADJUSTMENT
	Lowered cupel Limited formation chamber Very liquid foam Important foam capacity Water percentage > 50%
	Lifted cupel Important volume in the formation chamber Very concentrated foam Low foam capacity Water percentage < 50 %
