BAUER AT THE FAMOUS„L’AQUARIUM“ IN BARCELONA

Barcelona’s famous ‘L’Aquàrium’ relies on a BAUER KOMPRESSOREN‘s system when it comes to the breathing air supply of its divers. ‘L’Aquàrium’ in Barcelona has fascinated visitors every day for over twenty -years, presenting spectacular underwater worlds behind gigantic walls of glass. The aquarium, located on Moll d’Espanya at Port Vell, opened in 1995 and is the world’s most important aquarium of -ocean life in the Mediterranean. The 35 different aquariums are home to over 11,000 sea creatures. A feature unique throughout Europe is the aquarium’s 80-metre underwater tunnel. It guides visitors through the heart of the ‘Oceanarium’, an aquarium containing an incredible four million litres of water where sharks, rays and moray eels glide to and fro and shoals of fish dart elegantly past. Limited numbers of especially bold visitors can sign up for a divingtrip to swim with the stars of the aqua-rium – the sand tiger and sandbar sharks. The ultra-pure breathing air necessary for these visitors is supplied by a BAUER compressor system. Few visitors are aware of the huge -efforts that keep these perfectly staged, fascinating underwater worlds in pristine condition. The aquariums need to be cleaned and maintained all year round. ‘L’Aquàrium’s‘ in-house divers, responsible for the maintenance and care of the giant tanks, must also be able to rely on a dependable round-the-clock air supply.
