Large Diameter Filter Scavenger for Trenches, Manholes, or Open Water
The ORS Large Diameter Filter Scavenger is a high efficiency product recovery system capable of recovering Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (LNAPL) from water. It can be used in open environments such as manholes, ponds, trenches, open lagoons or large diameter wells to 20' deep.
Product Description
FEATURES
Efficiently separates hydrocarbons from water insitu using an oleophilic/hydrophobic membrane
Intake floats on the water surface Automatically adjusts as water level fluctuates
Intrinsically safe explosion-proof design
Portable self-contained design For quick and easy startup, ideal for emergency response
Durable construction for harsh field conditions
Recovers hydrocarbons to a sheen
Salt water and aromatic hydrocarbon models available.
The ORS Large Diameter Filter Scavenger has a floating collection element or "buoy" designed to float precisely at the oil-water interface. This allows hydrocarbons to flow into a collection basin within the unit automatically. This unit is so effective that product layers can be reduced to a sheen.
When approximately one liter of hydrocarbons collects in the buoy base, a float switch is activated, turning the pump on. Thus, water-free product is automatically pumped into a recovery tank. A water sensing switch is also located within the buoy. Should water enter the buoy, a density switch is activated, shutting off the pump and activating an alarm light. This automatic feature prevents recovered
hydrocarbons from being contaminated by water.
