OPERATION
The ORS Large Diameter Filter Scavenger™ has a floating collection element or “buoy” designed to float precisely at the oil-water interface. This allows hydrocarbons to flow into a collection basin within the unit automatically. This unit is so effective that product layers can be reduced to a sheen.

When approximately one liter of hydrocarbons collects in the buoy base, a float switch is activated, turning the pump on. Thus, water-free product is automatically pumped into a recovery tank. A water sensing switch is also located within the buoy. Should water enter the buoy, a density switch is activated, shutting off the pump and activating an alarm light. This automatic feature prevents recovered hydrocarbons from being contaminated by water.

• Intrinsically safe explosion-proof design
• Portable self-contained design for quick and easy startup, ideal for emergency response
• Durable construction for harsh field conditions
• Recovers hydrocarbons to a sheen
• Salt water and aromatic hydrocarbon models available.
