This manual introduces the composition, function, working principle, installation, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of the Large Diameter Filter Scavenger system.
This manual provides installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting information for the Geotech Large Diameter Filter Scavenger system. It details the floating separator unit, pump control module, and components for recovering hydrocarbons from water surfaces. The system is portable and electrically safe for use in hazardous locations.
The system includes a floating separator with a hydrophobic/oil-friendly mesh that separates hydrocarbons from water. Hydrocarbons flow through the mesh while water is repelled. When sufficient hydrocarbon accumulates, a float activates the pump to transfer the product to a recovery tank. Water intrusion triggers an alarm to prevent contamination. This manual is written in Spanish.
| Motor Power | 1/4HP |
|---|---|
| Motor Speed | 1725 rpm |
| Float Activation Volume | 400ml |
| Float Deactivation Volume | 200ml |
| Mesh Sizes | 100 (standard) and 60 (for viscosities 100–400 SSU) |
The system uses a hydrophobic/oil-friendly mesh located in the floating separator. Hydrocarbons flow through the mesh while water is repelled.
The water float triggers a sensor that turns off the pump and activates a red alarm indicator to prevent contamination.
The float controls the pump by activating it when approximately 400ml of hydrocarbon accumulates and deactivating it after 200ml is pumped.
