Spill Buddy
1. Summary of Products:
The Spill Buddy is a compact, manual, free product skimming system, designed to operate on site to skim quantities of product (LNAPL or DNAPL). The Spill Buddy's operation is based on the state-of-the-art ALPHA-ARRAY™ sensors in the probe that detect the interface between the product and the water. An audible feedback signals the user to keep the pump positioned in the product layer, and allows product skimming with virtually no water pumped (dependent on operator's reaction time in turning off the pump after hearing the audible signal for water).The compact probe with enclosed pump easily fits into wells as small as 2" in diameter. The rugged, lightweight, and convenient Spill Buddy can skim up to 0.7 gallons of product per minute. Spill Buddy also has a self contained, rechargeable battery for the sensor electronics and pump. The battery is rechargeable from a 12 VDC source (car battery or cigarette lighter socket-optional) or the wall transformer provided with the unit. Spill Buddy will operate for up to one hour of continuous pumping (approx. 40 gallons) per charge.
The standard length down-well probe is 50 feet (15 meters), but a 100 foot (30 meters) probe is also an option for deeper wells.
Spill Buddy Pro
The Spill Buddy Pro combines an interface meter with the Spill Buddy's free product skimming capability. The integrated measuring tape and audible feedback allow the user to determine the distance to the product surface, the depth of the product, and then to pump the accumulated product. It averages about 0.5 gallons of product per minute (approximately 35 gallons in an hour of continuous pumping).
The Spill Buddy Pro's interface tape is marked in tenths and hundredths of feet; metric tapes are also available. The standard English unit includes a 50 foot down-well probe; the standard metric unit has a 15 meter probe. A 75 foot (23 meters) probe is also an option.2. Features and Benefits -
