Copenhagen, Denmark

FOAM FRACTIONATORS
AATs range of Foam Fractionators have been continuously refined with years of successful use in large
public aquariums and aquaculture facilities. The fractionators remove organic compounds, including proteins,
amino acids, dissolved metals, bacteria, water tints and other small detritus. The installation of foam
fractionators in the life support system greatly increases the water quality and oxygen concentration in the
water which in turn increases animal health, stocking densities capacity and growth rates.

MULTI-FUNCTION BAG FILTER

AATs Multi-Function Bag Filter is a unidirectional, pressure filter that can be used in a wide variety of filtering applications. Made from glass fibre polypropylene (GF PP), this filter is easily connected into new and
existing infrastructure. Water passes into the top of the unit, proceeds through the filter media in the bag
filter basket and exits the unit by one or two outlets in the filters base.
The AAT Multi-Function Bag Filter can be used in a variety of applications, including particulate removal,
activated carbon purification and biological filtration.
