Geotech Single & Multi-Well AC Sipper

The Geotech AC Sipper is a Single-Phase, 110-220V AC, powered remediation system, designed for recovery applications where electrical power is available. This uniquely flexible system can be configured for up to seven wells. The compact, easy-to-install features make this unit an industry favorite!

The AC Sipper uses a unique downwell pump to recover hydrocarbons through a floating oleophilic/hydrophobic intake filter. Once the pump canister is filled via the vacuum cycle, the pump reverses, pressurizes the system and pumps the recovered fluid to the surface and into a storage vessel.

The Geotech AC Sipper can effectively extract fluids from depths to 180 feet below ground surface and recover viscous hydrocarbons such as 90 weight oil when our heavy oil skimmer is utilized.

AC Sipper System

The Geotech AC Sipper recovers floating hydrocarbons (LNAPL) from wells using an AC powered pressure/vacuum pump. The standard Skimmer features a unique product intake assembly that incorporates both a density float and an oleophilic/hydrophobic filter that differentiates between floating hydrocarbons and water. The skimmer floats just above the oil/water interface to collect and remove hydrocarbons from the well into an optional above ground storage tank.

The Geotech AC Sipper is also available for recovery of sinking product (DNAPL) from wells when using a fixed intake.
