Introduction
Welcome to QED Environmental Systems’ Skimmer manual.
To ensure the best operator safety and system performance, it is strongly recommended that
the operators read this entire manual before using the system.
This manual reects our many years of experience and includes comments and suggestions
from our sales and service personnel and most importantly from our customers. The chapters,
their contents and sequence were designed with you, the user and installer, in mind. We wrote
this manual so it can be easily understood by users who may not be familiar with systems of
this type or are using a QED system for the rst time.
Safety
Safety has been a cornerstone of our design which has been proven out in building and
shipping systems throughout the world. Our high level of performance is achieved by using
quality components, building in redundancies or backup systems, and not compromising
our commitment to quality manufacturing. The net result is the highest quality and safest
groundwater remediation equipment on the market. We feel so strongly about safety, based
on years of working with the hydrocarbon industry, that it is the rst section in all of our
manuals.

Revision 1 - December 2007
Chapter 1: Safety
Safety has been a prime consideration when designing the Skimmer System. Safety
guidelines are provided in this manual, and the Skimmer System safety features are listed
below. Please do not attempt to circumvent the safety features of this system.
We have also listed some possible hazards involved when applying this system to site
remediation. Nothing will protect you as much as understanding the system, the site at which
it is being used, and the careful handling of all the equipment and uids. If you have any
questions, please contact the QED Service Department for guidance.
As you read through this manual, you will encounter three kinds of warnings. The following
examples indicate how they appear and lists their respective purposes.
Note: Highlights information of interest.
Caution: Highlights ways to avoid damaging equipment.
WARNING: Highlights personal safety issues.
A Partial List of Safety Procedures
These safety procedures should be followed at all times when operating QED equipment on or
off site, and should be considered as warnings:
• Wear safety goggles when working with the Skimmer System to protect eyes from any
splashing.
• Wear chemically resistant rubber gloves, boots, and coveralls when handling the Skimmer
to avoid skin contact with the uid being recovered.
