PetroXtractor™-Well Oil Skimmer
4Pages

Ε Ideal for removal of floating oil and other hydrocarbon liquids from existing recovery or monitoring wells Can be installed in well casings as small as 2 in. IDՕ Elevates skimmed oil 100 feet or more for easy discharge into 55 gallon drum Removes up to 12 gph of oil from water > The Abanaki PetroXtractor > ծ is a dependable and cost effective means of removing oil, fuel, and other floating hydrocarbons from water where access to the fluid surface is limited. It provides efficient remediation of groundwater contaminated by oil, using existing recovery and monitoring wells. Often, the PetroXtrac- tor > working alone will reduce oil or fuel content to an acceptable E.P.A. level. Models are available for two inch, four inch, and six inch ID well casings, with removal rates up to 12 gph. Depths of 100 feet or more can be ac- commodated without the use of pumps. The PetroXtractor > ή is an oil skimmer that makes use of the differences in specific gravity and surface tension between oil and water. These physical characteristics allow the units continuous belt to attract floating oil in the well. After picking up the oil, the belt travels over the head pulley on the drive unit and through tandem wiper blades. The oil is then scraped off both sides of the belt and dis- charged through a 1-1/4" ID hose. The unique > ҕ Allows existing monitoring wells to be used as recovery wells Portable ՗ can be easily hand-carried from well to well A single unit separates oil and elevates it up to 100 feet without a pumpՕ Maintains skimming efficiency with fluc-tuating water level Tail pulley is tethered to the frame to pre-vent accidental loss of belt and tail pulley in the well casingՕ Easy mounting, fast cleaning with mini-mal maintenance Belt materials to fit any application Օ Many options available to customize unit for your application >

bearingless design of the tail pulley (immersed in the well water) with its tethered frame al- lows it to perform three important functions: it keeps proper tension on the belt, prevents accidental loss down the well, and keeps the belt centered in the casing.The PetroXtractor > Small mounting and operating areaՕ Chip resistant powder coated finish Customized belt lengths and materials Օ Easily mounted on flat surface Belt and wipers impervious to oils and fuelsՕ Weighted and tethered tail pulley Fast cleaning with minimal maintenance Օ Can be customized to application needs > can be...

Ε Groundwater monitoring wells Recovery wells Օ Underground tanks Limited access areas > The Oil Concentrator > ή is an option available on all ABANAKI oil skimmers. Under most operating conditions ABANAKI oil skimmers will pick up oil with less than 5% water. But as surface oil is reduced to a thin layer (1/16 to 1/8 inch thick), more water or coolant may also be picked up along with the oil. When used in tandem with the oil skimmer, an Oil Concentrator will solve this problem, and provides virtually complete oil/water separation, saving money and improving the efficiency of the...
