The most critical factor in protein extraction through foam fractionization (protein skimming) is contact time (the time in which the water and air are held together in contact with one another) in a homogenous mixture. Contact time is critical as it allows the bubbles more time to pick up and remove protein and waste products. Contact time can be measured in two ways. One is the length of contact, this is a measure of how long the water and air are kept together while passing in the chambers. The other way, to measure by volume of contact. When injecting twice the number of fine bubbles and doubling the capacity for the bubbles to do their job. The Red Sea Berlin Turbo greatly increases contact time by allowing for the introduction of significantly more air bubbles (volume of contact). Combined with the triple pass of the Berlin this combination makes for unbeatable results. The combined effect of the triple pass with Turbo drive increase the protein extraction capabilities significantly over our other so called high efficiency skimmers. Check out Red Sea's Prizm Pro Skimmers for cutting edge technology combining increased volume and length of contact time.

The patented technology (developed by the Julich Research Center of the German Institute of Technology) incorporated into the Red Sea Berlin Skimmer has resulted in a unique, compact design that is more effective than skimmers twice the size, removing low concentrations of protein that other skimmers can’t.
