Popis: This chapter introduces a closed recirculating system that includes the latest water treatment system recently introduced to aquaria in Japan. Conventional aquaria have been constructed in coastal areas where large quantities of natural saltwater can be supplied as needed. Due to the need for increasing profitability, there has been growing demand for inland aquaria that can attract large numbers of visitors, but this will require the resolution of operational issues not faced by aquaria in coastal areas. A closed-circulation system has been developed to resolve these issues. This chapter describes the three essential components constituting a closed recirculating system: an artificial saltwater manufacturing system, a high-performance filtration system, and a saltwater reuse system. The performance of the denitrification system included in the high-performance filtration system will also be covered.
