Automatic skimmer provides durable LNAPL recovery
The Genie systems use a high-suction pump to draw in free product through a floating inlet that tracks changes in liquid level in the well. Pump – The air-powered Genie pump’s special, high-rebound bladder creates high suction to more reliably draw in fluids, even when debris or high viscosities are present. The pump discharges fluid when the bladder is pressurized, and draws in fluid when the pump enters the vent cycle and the special bladder rebounds. The bladder prevents the drive air from contacting the pumped fluid. Floating inlet types – The SPG inlet float is buoyant in water and sinks in hydrocarbon to keep its inlet ports above water. Multiple, selectable inlet ports allow fine-tuning of the floating layer thickness that can be achieved. The SOS inlet uses a hydrophobic screen to avoid taking in water.
