Colt Industries Introduces Portable Floating Pump For Fast Skimming Of Oil Spills Oil spills can now be skimmed off quickly and pumped into a tank truck or retaining basin by a new Fairbanks Morse portable floating pump. The skimming attachment for the Fairbanks Morse Figure 5430FP Floating Pump can be adjusted to specific depth for most efficient operation, according to Colt Industries Indus- trial Pump Operation. Designed for a wide variety of emergency and constant-use applications, the new pump floats on the surface of seawater, lakes, streams or man-made excavations, pits, holding ba- sins and sumps. Buoyancy is provided by a float ring of experience-proved polyethylene filled with 100 percent urethane foam which is resistant to water, sun, hydrocarbons and most chemicals. Light in weight in relation to capacities, the floating pump can be placed in service in minutes by one or two men. Without the skimming attachment, the pump drains basins completely and may be used for dewatering, irrigation, transfer of fluids, including loading of tank trucks, cars and vessels, waste water removal, and water supply. Available in five models of varying sizes and capacities, the Fairbanks Morse Floating Pump is equipped with a choice of gasoline, electric or air motors.
