For an offer please contact us. We can also offer modified hot water systems (maximum 80°C) for test laboratories.
High-performance calcium reactor system with CO2 column (CO2 tube) for effective enrichment of carbonic acid; maximum flow velocity in the main reactor tube (calcite tube) to prevent sediment deposition and channel formation; effective neutralization by air introduction; daily running time adjustable from 1 to 100% (depending on the animals' needs). The complete system is installed on a plastic plate with a stable aluminum frame for wall mounting. (Floor installation on request.)
Advantages over other lime reactors:
- extreme performance: therefore optimal for pure stony coral aquariums with strong illumination
- Overpressure system (1 bar) for increased performance
- 78-82% less free CO2 in the outlet water: therefore no pH drop in the aquarium
- recycling for economical CO2 consumption
- maximum filter bed velocity (upstream): therefore no clogging, no channel formation
- lime material is not exchanged, but only refilled regularly
- highest dissolving rate of the high purity calcite material
- collection of too small particles in the sediment tube
- light phosphate removal by chemosorption (with turbo granulate filling)
- no overdosing of CO2 possible
- automatic venting at the end of each cycle
- flow meter for water supply, air supply and CO2 supply
- and of course
Professional control system with the following features:
- all necessary electrical components (e.g. fuses, overvoltage protection)
- Siemens Mini-PLC with full text display
- power selectable from 1 to 100%
- Start time programmable
- mode: normal or eco mode (saves CO2)
- control input for KH analyzer (can also be used as external start-stop signal)
- emergency shutdown in case of too low pH-value in the aquarium (in combination with a pH-controller)
- potential-free contact in case of malfunction
- error display in case of water deficiency, air deficiency, CO2 deficiency
Required accessories:
- CO2 supply
- water supply with 1 bar pressure (bypass from aquarium main pump or own pump)
Possible options:
- Integrated air supply
- water inlet pump
- electronic analog flow meter
- automatic switchover to spare CO2 bottle
- SPS with visualization
| Functional Description |
The inlet water from the aquarium is fed into the system by means of a bypass or an extra pump. The supply is adjustable with an angle seat control valve and is displayed on the flow meter. The system pressure is set on the pressure maintaining valve and is checked on the pressure gauge. A magnetically coupled, robust industrial pump generates the internal circuit flow. The filter bed velocity is adjustable via valves. The CO2 supply is fed into the column and can be read on a flow meter. A fine control valve is used to adjust the flow rate. In the column, the carbon dioxide dissolves particularly well at a system pressure of 1 bar. The now acidified process water passes through the circulation flow into the calcite tube, which contains a highly soluble, very pure sintered calcium carbonate granulate. The acid dissolves the lime material and thus produces dissolved lime: calcium and carbonate hardness (alkalinity). In the neutralization stage, excess CO2 is then removed from the water by means of air. As a final step, the now less acidic water runs into the sediment chamber, where particles are filtered out with a fleece. There, the process water is also diluted with feed water to reduce calcification in particularly long discharge pipes. The entire process is controlled by a PLC and, if necessary, interrupted immediately in the event of malfunctions. |
