Product Skimming
PRM offers a variety of methods and equipment for the treatment of Non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) including: F.A.P. Plus ZW™, Solar NAPL, POD Skimming System, and Passive Skimming Systems.
Non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) are organic liquids such as fuel, oil, and gasoline that are sparingly soluble in water and are not subject to efficient removal by other technologies. Because they do not mix with water, they form a separate phase. NAPLs can be lighter than water (LNAPL) or denser than water (DNAPL). NAPL contamination commonly exists as a separate organic phase that becomes trapped or sorbed within a given formation.

Skimming Systems
F.A.P. Plus ZW™: The FAP Plus ZW Skimming system is a pneumatic LNAPL recovery pump designed to recover a wide range of free product. The “zero water” feature ensures only product will be recovered.
- Zero Water Pneumatic Logic ensures only product will be recovered.
- AccuPos™ indicator identifies the product water interface for easy installation.
- Skimmer automatically adjusts for up to 36 inches of water table fluctuation.
Solar NAPL: The Solar NAPL combines a solar powered compressor and the FAP Plus ZW to provide a standalone skimming system.
- Excellent for remote locations, uses solar power to operate the FAP Plus ZW skimming system.
- Recovers 15-25 gallons of product per day.
- System can be configured to operate multiple skimming pumps.
POD Skimming System: The POD or Pump On Demand skimmer is powered by compressed gas such as CO2, which makes it a great choice for remote locations and emergency response applications.
- The POD only cycles when the pump is full, minimizing air consumption.
- Self-supporting, no need for electrical power.
- Cycle counter records the amount of product recovered.
Passive Skimming Systems: PRM offers several choices for low cost product recovery for sites where minimal product is present.
- The Soakease combines an absorbent sock housed within a canister to optimize surface area.
- The Passive Skimmer combines the floating skimmer inlet that empties into a canister to capture free product.
