Standard Skimmer (TR-517 / TR-51711 / TR-51718) – Used to recover gasoline, jet fuel and most diesel fuels. It combines a density float, hydrophobic element, product bypass screen, hollow guide rod and coiled hose. The centre 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, providing 24 or 36 inches of skimmer travel.
The hydrophobic element is made of a special porous plastic with a pore size that will allow only product to pass. The bypass screen on top of the hydrophobic element allows the product to enter the skimmer directly when the product layer is greater than 2 inches.
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.
Three types of skimmers are available: standard, high-viscosity, and density.
Note: Density skimmers are not compatible with the F.A.P. Plus ZW. To use a density skimmer, you can either purchase a conversion kit (TR-51699) or you can purchase the F.A.P. Plus pump (TR-516).
