ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a floating suction device for a pump wherein the pickup point for the pump suction can be adjusted to various elevations. An aeration feature may be combined with the floating suction device to sparge compressed gas into an oil/hydrocarbon layer to promote movement of hydrocarbons from that layer into a topmost hydrocarbon rich layer for ultimate pumping through the floating suction device.
