In this study, the horizontal automatic scum remover with buoyant type is developed to reduce the cost of facility and is suitable for unit-process automation. This system is consist of the scum collecting box, leveling device for scum collecting box, drive device for scum collecting box, water level sensor and indicator, departure prevention device of scum collecting box, setting monitor, main control panel, etc. Performance tests for the system such as the accuracy of the scum thickness measurement, horizontal degree of the scum collecting box, scum removal time, accuracy of an unmanned control have been performed. The performance of the prototype system satisfies all the objects of this study.
