Orlando, FL
SeaWorld Orlando’s, Shark Encounter was built in 1979 and has kept guests enthralled with its wonder for many years. Unfortunately, with 35+ years of wear and tear, the system had deteriorated over time. Satchell Engineering & Associates was contracted to perform a review of the equipment within the aquatic Life Support System and design a new denitrification system for the 550,000-gallon saltwater tank.
The designing of the denitrification process for this system was put in place due to the issues aquarium staff saw in the balance of biological chemicals within the water. This upgrade focused on adding protein skimmers, denitrification sulfur filters, and calcium carbonate processes to the system to achieve the chemical balance necessary for the exhibit.
