L'écumeur crée la plus grande surface de contact possible entre l'eau de l'aquarium et l'air par la production de milliers de petites bulles dans un petit volume, les surfactants (ou composés tensio-actifs) sont attirés vers ces bulles qui remontent à la surface. Le nombre important de bulles, ainsi que la concentration en composés organiques, finit par former une mousse (écume) d'une teinte pouvant varier du brun vers le jaune. Cette écume est poussée continuellement vers le haut de la colonne d'écumage et finit par déborder dans le collecteur où les bulles éclatent et libèrent le liquide chargé de polluants qu'elles avaient entraînés. 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cumeur%20de%20prot%C3%A9ine
