A uniform 6” diameter reaction chamber allows for proper flow rates and contact times in comparison to the design of cone/hourglass/curved skimmers that reduce contact times and decrease skimmer efficiency. The counter current flow sends water from the top of the reaction chamber down through the rising bubbles to create a counter current, stripping action that allows maximum soluble organic removal. Counter Current design also allows for better mass mixing of air and water, increasing skimmer efficiency. Most other skimmers, needle wheel included, are Co-Current which injects air and water into the bottom of the skimmer which all travel upward in the same direction. Co-Current skimmers have been proven to be inferior in design to counter current skimmers.
