Abstract
A skimming and separation device includes an outer casing (1) having constructions to directly or indirectly fasten all parts, including a number of inflow tubes (20), and defining a closed container (19). The device includes a floater (5) configured to create a skimming function. The floater is attached at its lower side to an essentially vertically arranged bellow (23) allowing the floater to adapt flow into a substantially circum volume that is allowing flow in a downward direction into the inflow tubes (20), which allow debris and floating pollutions to enter below the accumulated debris and floating pollutions to preferably set the internal fluid inside the casing (27) in horizontal circular rotational motion as a result of a power device (7). The power device is controlled by a control unit such that various kinds of flows and pressures may be generated to control the in-flow and out-flow of the device.
