SCMI has made great strides in its construction of a closed circulating seawater filtration system. The facility has 2 separate closed circulating systems. One system has a 3000 gallon reservoir and is capable of pumping water through a total of 8 tanks at a time, each varying in size. The other system contains a 2400 gallon reservoir, 6 similar size tanks, and a water table. These seawater filtration systems comprise of silica sand filters, reservoirs, chillers, basket flow box sumps with particle bead filters and charcoal filters, and protein skimmers.
