Seneca Park Zoo recently opened their Tropics Complex, which will feature a variety of different species from Madagascar and Borneo. This facility will act as a conservation area for the zoo, in hopes of housing endangered species of the rainforests and bring them back to healthy numbers.
Satchell Engineering & Associates designed the aquatic Life Support Systems for this complex. It includes 40 different aquatic exhibits with pools ranging from 10-gallons to 1,880-gallons. We utilized a fine filtration system throughout the different Life Support Systems that consist of vertical sand filters and pumps, biofilters and pumps, bag filters, protein skimmers, UV sterilization, and heat exchangers.
