Skimmer Manual
Revision 1 - December 2007
Chapter 5: Start Up and Operation
Start Up Check List
In normal operation, the skimmers require li le a ention. Conduct a routine
inspection of the product recovery tank to record the rate of product recovery and to
ensure that water is not entering the skimmer.
Before regulating the air pressure to the desired operating pressure, ensure that the
following conditions exist:
1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is being used by all personnel.
2. All hoses are connected.
3. The air filter is mounted verically to allow the filter to operate properly.
4. All out-of-well air and fluid valves are in their correct positions.
A method of rapid disconnect and exhaust (or at least a shut off) of compressed air to
the pump is available in case of an unexpected occurence.
Observation of System Operation
A er installing the system in the well, listen for the cycling of the pump unit. By
listening near the well, or near to the controller, the exhaust cycle should be audible.
Monitor the output of the fluid hose by removing the tank adapter and holding the
output over the opening in the tank. If the product is flowing easily into the skimmer,
a 1/4-inch I.D. product hose will fill at the rate of about 10 feet per cycle (using a
24-inch bladder pump). Thus a 100 feet hose may require at least 10 cycles before
any fluid exits the hose.
It may be advisable to leave the tank adapter in a bucket until product appears. The
time required for product to be first discharge depends on the pump size, hose size
and length, cycle rate, and the amount of product available.
