AbTech's Monitoring Well Skimmer (MWS) is designed to absorb and encapsulate hydrocarbons by floating directly on the surface of the water in monitoring wells. The MWS utilizes a Smart Sponge propellet encased in flexible mesh designed to maintain structural integrity of the product as well as to allow maximum surface contact with the contaminant. The propellet slides over a reusable rod kit with a weight on one end and an attachment point for securing the deployment rope on the other. Propellet sleeves are available in a variety of sizes.
