Passive Skimmer

The passive skimmer is used when minimal product is present or when slow recovery rates are expected. For passive recovery of products with higher than 80 SSU, the 4 in high in-viscosity skimmer (TR-25410) is used. This system provides a floating intake of 30 inches.

For 2 in or larger wells, it may be upgraded to an active system by adding the F.A.P. Plus™ skimming system. The floating inlet automatically adjusts to water table changes. Includes a skimmer and Canister Well Clincher with a 50 ft. cord.

Product Recovery Canister: The clear PVC collection canister uses a quick connect fitting to attach it to the skimmer and provides venting through the skimmer support hollow rod. The bottom of the canister incorporates a petcock for easy draining. The petcock assembly can be removed allowing an extension canister to be threaded into the existing canister to increase the volume of free product that can be recovered. Additional weights are included with each canister and must be used for proper installation.

Well Clincher and Cord: The Well Clincher and 50 ft. Nylon® suspension cords support the passive skimmer in the recovery well. The clincher incorporates an eye hook to attach the suspension cord. Correct measurement of the product water interface is necessary to properly position the passive skimmer.

Applications include:

• Floating inlet automatically adjusts to water table changes. Passive LNAPL recovery
• Use when minimal product is present or slow recovery rates are expected 2″ and larger wells
• May be upgraded to an active system by adding the F.A.P. Plus™ Pump
