Custom Designed Multi-Rack Systems
Single, Double and Side-by-Side Options
Iwaki Aquatic life support systems are simple, fail-safe, and easy to maintain. Our filtration design has been refined over the years to include the best equipment suited for both the research staff and the aquatic research organisms. We ensure that your multi-rack system is easy to clean and service with all components easily accessible. We are the direct manufacturer of most major components on these systems, saving you time and money on installation and ongoing product support.
Filtration Systems
Systems may include single or dual rotating micro-screen systems with minimal consumables. High-quality stainless steel UV units come standard with every system. We use low maintenance moving bed bio-filtration, quiet and dependable Iwaki pumps, Walchem controllers, stainless steel and titanium heaters/chillers, and only high-quality non-corrosive, non-toxic materials.
Our Walchem controllers are proven through years of service in the global water treatment market. Advanced controller technology provides instant alarm notification locally and from any web browser, keeping on-site and off-site personnel notified of system performance.
Sumps under racks, smallest life support equipment space required (Conventional Filtration)
Benefit
Life support can be placed in the smallest of spaces. Tank numbers can be maximized.
Slight draw back
Many sumps required under racks, reducing storage space. More sumps to maintain.
No sumps under racks, medium life support equipment space required (Single Drum Filter)
Benefits
No sumps under racks, one self cleaning drum filter for first stage filtration 80-100 micron
No 200 micron mechanical filters to rinse and reuse
Slight draw back
Larger equipment space needed
No sumps under racks, large life support equipment space required (Dual Drum Filters)
Benefits
No sumps under racks, one self cleaning drum filter for first stage filtration 80-100 micron, then another drum filter for 50 microns
No 50 micron polishing filters before the UV unit to replace
Slight draw back
Requires the largest amount of equipment space
