Standard Skimmer
:

The standard skimmer is used to recover gasoline, jet fuel and most diesel fuels.

Remediation Applications
The standard skimmer is used to recover gasoline, jet fuel and most diesel fuels and is a highly versatile product designed to be used across the whole range of DGSI LNAPL recovery products.
 
Key Benefits
  • Long 900mm tracking range (smaller ranges available)
  • Can be coupled to the FAP Plus ™ and FAP Plus ™ ZW pumps;
  • Can be coupled to the POD Skimmer
  • Can be coupled to the Passive Skimmer Canisters
Operation
The Standard Skimmer combines a density float, a special hydrophobic element, a product bypass, a hollow guide rod and a coiled hose.
The center guide rod allows the skimmer to travel freely in response to the water table changes. The skimmer is designed to float with the inlet positioned at the water/product interface automatically providing 90cm of skimmer travel. The density float is used to position the special hydrophobic element — the skimmer inlet — at the product water interface (see Tech Tip 3). The hydrophobic element uses a special micron pore size that is based on surface tension, allowing only product to pass. A larger pore size is available for use with higher viscosity products such as weathered diesel.
 
Specifications
Pumping rates through the hydrophobic element will be approximately 15 l/hr.
Pumping rates through the bypass filter will be approximately 45 l/hr.
Tracking Range: Various
 

Tech Tip: The larger micron-sized elements may allow a small percentage of water to pass.
 
Tech Tip: Maintenance: Biofouling may occur because the hydrophobic element is positioned at the air/product interface. If fouling occurs, the element can be cleaned using a soft brush or replaced by unthreading the bypass element and installing a new hydrophobic element.
 
Tech Tip: Remember, as LNAPL is removed, the water level rebounds UP.  Position the middle of the tracking range at the TOP of the LNAPL layer.  As the product is removed, the product/water interface will rise to this level.
