Development of a Portable Skimmer ( II ) - Fabrication and Performance Test of an Air Suction Skimmer
An air suction skimmer was selected as a potable skimmer to be developed among the many reviewed skimmers because of its advantages such as simple structure, excellent transportability, and easy deployment. A prototype of the skimmer was fabricated. It was shown that the skimmer operated by a commercial vacuum cleaner has good performance. The maximum suction rate of water and the maximum suction head were 18㎥/㏊ and 2.7m, respectively.
