Skimz有一个新的Biopellet反应堆进入市场in three sizes to take advantage of the nutrient reducing properties of the biopolymer. The Skimz Biopellet Reactor is unique in being bottom-fed and does away with the sometimes awkward internal inlet pipe. Skimz uses one of their own branded pumps through a conical base which helps to keep the biopellet media in constant motion and prevent clumping.
Skimz的新Biopellet反应堆将有三种尺寸,即BR80,BR100和BR150,可以容纳400至2000毫升Biopellet培养基。两个较大的BR100和BR150的管道直径分别为100和150mm,也可以配备海绵,以减少它们旨在将其转换为有能力的介质反应堆以进行磷酸盐和碳的搅拌。
Arguably the most interesting of the three sizes of Skimz Biopellet Reactors is the smallest BR80, a diminutive hang on affair with a holding capacity just barely more than that of a media bag. Besides having the same conical bottom for even biopellet mixing, the BR80 uses an oversize union valve on its topside to access the media reactor volume.
The use of a union valve instead of a lineup of nylon screws makes the BR80 a much easier device to service and maintain and we wish that Skimz had implimented a similar solution for the laregr BR100 and BR150, but union valves in those diameters would also make them large and cumbersome. Skimz has a proven track record of making nice and affordable acrylic products that are durable and we expect the same for their new line of Biopellet Reactors.
