About SEALIFE Istanbul
SEALIFE Istanbul was integrated into a modern shopping mall. Since the beginning, the 4.500 m3 tanks was a constant challenge to maintain good water quality standards.
The tank design was based on just skimming and no drains, which creates together with a shallow, big surface, a big challenge to get waste out of it. There was hardly water movement, leaving detritus just plunging on the bottom.
In our plan we needed to get the waste towards the Life Support System (LSS). For that we made a design with 17 flow cannons of Abyzz pumps. Now more waste was arriving at the LSS and we had a more balanced water quality throughout the tank.
Saving 700.000 kWh per year
For Merlin Entertainment sustainability is a big thing and so energy use was also a point of interest at the time ATO Energysaving came for an audit of the LSS.
After having completed a thoroughly audit, ATO Energysaving advised on a new LSS set-up with Abyzz axial flow pumps and AFM glass filter media.
As a result, SEALIFE Istanbul did save over 3.000.000 kWh and we had a Return-On-Investment time less than 2 years.
Due to circumstances unfortunately the site has been closed since beginning of 2025.
