2. Ammonia poisoning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_poisoning

   A build-up of ammonia in the fish tank leads to ammonia poisoning. Species of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) can break down the ammonia and convert it to other, less toxic, nitrogen products. Two examples of AOB are Nitrosospira and Nitrosomonas. [2] The amount of ammonia present is usually accompanied by a rise in pH. As ammonia is a base ...

3. Scrubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrubber

   Water is the most common solvent used to remove inorganic contaminants, particularly for dust, but solutions of reagents that specifically target certain compounds may also be used. [ 4 ] Process exhaust gas can also contain water-soluble toxic and/or corrosive gases like hydrochloric acid (HCl) or ammonia (NH 3 ).

4. Algae scrubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae_scrubber

   Periodic removal of the algae that has grown inside of an algae scrubber removes nutrients (ammonia, nitrate, phosphate) from the aquarium water, thus providing the needed filtration. An algae scrubber is a water filtering device which uses light to grow algae ; in this process, undesirable chemicals are removed from the water. [ 1 ]

An automated tank cleaning machine is a machine used to clean cargo, process, underground storage tanks and similar equipment such as those found in tank trucks, railroad cars, barges, oil tankers, food and beverage manufacturing facilities, chemical processing plants, ethanol ...

6. Aquarium filter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquarium_filter

   In this design, water is fed by gravity to the filter below the aquarium. Prefiltered water is delivered to a perforated plate (drip plate). Prefiltering may take place in the aquarium via a foam block or sleeve in the overflow, or weir siphon, or it may be prefiltered by filter wool resting on the perforated plate. The waste laden water from ...

7. Protein skimmer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_skimmer

   Protein skimming removes certain organic compounds, including proteins and amino acids found in food particles and fish waste, by using the polarity of the protein itself. . Due to their intrinsic charge, water-borne proteins are either repelled or attracted by the air–water interface and these molecules can be described as hydrophobic (such as fats or oils) or hydrophilic (such as salt ...

8. Chloramination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloramination

   The time required to remove half of the chloramine from 10 US gallons (38 L; 8.3 imp gal) of water by boiling is 26.6 minutes, whereas the half-life of free chlorine in boiling 10 gallons of water is only 1.8 minutes. [16] Aging may take weeks to remove chloramines, whereas chlorine disappears in a few days. [17] [18]

9. Rotating biological contactor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_biological_contactor

   The RBC process allows the wastewater to come in contact with a biological film in order to remove pollutants in the wastewater before discharge of the treated wastewater to the environment, usually a body of water (river, lake or ocean). A rotating biological contactor is a type of secondary (biological) treatment process.
