NEW! Abanaki’s Solar Powered PetroXtractor Oil Skimmer (see Features tab)
The Abanaki PetroXtractor 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 acts efficiently as remediation equipment for groundwater contaminated by oil, using existing recovery and monitoring wells. Often, the PetroXtractor Well Oil Skimmer 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 or larger ID well casings, with removal rates up to 12 gph. (based on SEA 30 motor oil). Depths of 100 feet or more can be accommodated without the use of pumps.
The PetroXtractor is a well oil skimmer that makes use of the differences in specific gravity and surface tension between oil and water. These physical characteristics allow the unit’s 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 discharged through a 1-1/4″ ID hose. The unique bearing-less design of the tail pulley (immersed in the well water) with its tethered frame allows 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 Well Oil Skimmer can be installed in existing wells by mounting it on a flat surface above the well casing. Oil Skimmer operation consists of merely lowering the belt and tail pulley into the casing until the pulley is fully immersed, placing the discharge hose in a container, and switching the unit on.
Rugged Construction For Harsh Conditions: The PetroXtractor will provide for many years of trouble-free service. Belts are specifically selected for your application (see Belt Selection page). A tough power train keeps the PetroXtractor running under the most severe conditions. With the proper configuration, the PetroXtractor can handle liquid temperatures up to 180 °F, and the pH of the fluid can range from 3 to 13.
