Oil Skimmers for Groundwater Remediation Systems
 More cost effective than pump-and-treat systems, oil skimming removes
hydrocarbon contamination from groundwater without pumps and at the
lowest cost. It is the most inexpensive way to remove LNAPLs or
DNAPLs oils from groundwater. Abanaki oil skimmers have proven success
in thousands of applications.
Oil skimmers can also be used to treat water before filtering, thus
extending the lifespan of the filter. Oil skimming equipment is simple,
reliable and low maintenance.
Oil skimmers surpass traditional systems that involve placing into the
well a bailer, pump, or similar object that lifts contaminated water above
ground for treatment. An oil skimmer eliminates the need to treat the water
by removing only the hydrocarbons from the well.
Abanaki's PetroXtractor belt oil skimmer is
designed for groundwater remediation systems via existing monitoring wells, at
depths up to 100 feet, regardless of fluctuating water levels.
Hydrocarbon-attracting belts are specifically designed for each type of
contaminant: diesel, fuel, gasoline, LNAPLs, DNAPLs and heavy weathered
oils. Abanaki offers a variety of oil skimmer systems that fit into 2" or
greater diameter wells and that are capable of removing 1 gph to 12 gph of
oil or gasoline.
Other Abanaki oil skimmer models, such as the
Oil Grabber® Model 8 oil skimmer and
Oil Viper tube oil skimmer, are ideal for use in
trenches and ponds. Solar powered units are available.
