ABSTRACT:
An automatic well skimmer for removal of floating contaminates and oil and gasoline seepage from water wells. A cylindrical well bailer is lowered and raised by means of a motor driven cable hoist programmed to lower the bailer in small increments after detecting the liquid level and to lift the bailer before it is completely filled with liquid. When lifted to the surface the liquid is dumped from the bailer and the bailer is returned to the well. The timing of the controls can be varied to permit skimming at rates comparable to the seepage of hydrocarbons into the well and the bailer can be stored below ground in the well between cycles to prevent freezing of the unloading mechanism.
