Abstract
Effect of initial protein concentration on the protein removal rate was assessed for seawater aquarium using a foam separator. Protein removal rate was increased and removal efficiency was decreased with the increase of initial protein concentration. Enrichment ratio was decreased and foam generation rate was increased with the increase of initial protein concentration. Total suspended solids (TSS) removal rate was increased with the increase of initial protein concentration, and TSS removal efficiency was decreased with the increase of initial protein concentration. Turbidity removal rate and removal efficiency were increased with the increase of initial protein concentration.
