Product Introduction
The Spill Buddy is a compact, manually
operated product skimming tool based on
proven Spill Buster technology. The Spill
Buddy is designed to be operated on site to
determine the
location of the
product/water
interface and skim small quantities of product
or water from recovery wells
as small as 2” in
diameter.
The Spill Buddy is designed to effectively
pump products (both LNAPLs and DNAPLs)
with viscosities up to about 10-12 centipoise.
The Spill Buddy consists of a reel outfitted
with a down-well probe that is manually
lowered and raised by the operator. The
down-well probe comes in two lengths: 50 ft. and 100 ft. The Probe is connected inside the reel
to 10 ft. of Product Discharge Tubing
with a combination valve and support clamp/ground,
located at the rear of the reel which can be attached to various types of recovered product
containers.
The 1.93” diameter Probe contains the patented ALPHA ARRAY™
interface sensors, as well as a small but powerful 12vdc electric
product pump. An audible feedback enables the user to keep the
pump positioned in the product layer, resulting in product skimming
without also pumping water.
The rugged, lightweight, and convenient Spill Buddy can
skim up to 0.7 gallons of product per minute. Spill Buddy
also has a self-contained, rechargeable battery for the
sensor electronics and pump. The battery is rechargeable
from a 12 VDC source. A wall transformer is provided
with the unit; or an optional cigarette lighter adapter may
be purchased that enables the Spill Buddy to be charged
by a vehicle, as well as an optional battery cable to
charge directly from your vehicle’s battery. Spill Buddy
can operate for up to one hour of continuous pumping
(approx. 40 gallons) per charge, depending on the
viscosity of the product being pumped.
