This manual provides instructions for installing, operating, maintaining, troubleshooting, and replacing parts of the Geotech Product Recovery Canister (PRC).
The Geotech Product Recovery Canister (PRC) is a passive, skimmer device designed to recover light floating hydrocarbons, such as gasoline and diesel fuel, from groundwater in wells 2 inches and larger. The system consists of a product skimmer assembly and a collection canister, utilizing a floating oleophilic/hydrophobic intake assembly to automatically collect and skim floating product down to a sheen.
