Point all hoses away from personnel and equipment when connecting or disconnecting.
•
Refer to Chapter # 3
: Equipment for a list of parts and hoses supplied with the Passive
Skimmer System.
The Skimmer System minimizes the potential for accidents with the following safeguards:
Fire and Explosion Protection
All QED underground fluid extraction systems are either passive or pneumatically driven.
This offers many fire and explosion protection features.
• Also, all standard quick-connects are brass, which helps to eliminate sparking hazard.
Spill Protection
On-site spills cannot always be prevented.
QED
equipment is designed to take into
consideration such unpredictable occurrences that may happen despite strict adherence to
standardized safety practices.
•
Down well quick-connects have locking features to prevent accidental disconnections.
•
If using a system that pumps hydrocarbon (e.g. AutoGenie, Programable Genie), it is
recommended to use reinforced product hose to reduce the possibility of hose leakage
or kinking.
