Geotech Large Diameter Dangle Scavenger
The Geotech Large Diameter Dangle Scavenger is a unique separating and pumping system designed for the efficient recovery of hydrocarbon product from the surface water. The system is portable and is electrically safe for use in hazardous locations. The heart of the Dangle Scavenger is a floating oil/water separator which passes recovered oil to a suspended pump and control assembly. Actual separation of oil or other hydrocarbons from water is effected by a mesh screen located in the floating buoy assembly. This screen is specially treated to pass oil and repel water.
- Efficiently separates hydrocarbons from water in-situ using an oleophilic/hydrophobic membrane
- Intake floats on the water surface
Automatically adjusts as water level fluctuates - Intrinsically safe explosion-proof design
- Portable self-contained design
For quick and easy startup, ideal for emergency response - Durable construction for harsh field conditions
- Recovers hydrocarbons to a sheen
- Aromatic hydrocarbon model available
| Applications | Trenches, manholes, small bodies of water, and wells 24" (61.5 cm) in diameter or larger, with fluctuating water table levels. | |

| The Geotech Large Diameter Dangle Scavenger has a floating collection element or "buoy" designed to float precisely at the oil-water interface. This allows hydrocarbons to flow into a collection basin within the unit automatically. This unit is so effective that product layers can be reduced to a sheen. |  |
| Geotech Large Diameter Dangle Scavenger Set-up in Well |
When approximately one liter of hydrocarbons collects in the buoy base, a float switch is activated, turning the pump on. Thus, water-free product is automatically pumped into a recovery tank. A water sensing switch is also located within the buoy. Should water enter the buoy, a density switch is activated, shutting off the pump and activating an alarm light. This automatic feature prevents recovered hydrocarbons from being contaminated by water.
