| The
AARDVAC 800 is a self-contained, high capacity suction skimming
system for beach and shoreline areas. This skid mounted vacuum
system can be loaded onto a flatbed truck for mobility, or located
on a beach or pier. The suction manifold allows up to three
skimmer heads to operate at the same time. These skimmer heads
are interchangeable to accommodate the weight of oil being recovered.
The unit can simultaneously skim oil from the water and transfer
the recovered oil to a separate storage tank.
Handling/ Operation - The AARDVAC 800 skimmer is designed
for beach or shoreline collection or recovery point operations.
It is not likely to be used offshore as a VOSS, but the AARDVAC
system could become a valuable tool in shallow water spills
when it is worked off a barge type platform. The system will
require the operator to be proficient in diesel engine operations
in addition to having knowledge of vacuum skimming and transfer
pump procedures.
