Skimming and separation device—peripheral vertical flow

A skimming and separation device comprising

• an outer casing provided with constructions to directly or indirectly join all parts, and defining a compartment,
• a floater configured to create a skimming function of the device, the floater is attached at its lower side to an essentially vertically arranged bellow allowing the floater to adapt flow into a substantially circum volume and allowing the floater to move from an upper position with essentially no flow into the compartment to a lower position allowing flow of water and debris to follow the contours of the floater in a downward direction into the device,
• a power device with a propeller, wherein said power device is configured to be controlled by a control unit such that various flows and pressures may be generated to control in-flow and outflow of the device,
• at least one peripheral flow deflecting member arranged in relation to the floater and structured to achieve a rotational movement of the downward directed flow of water and debris, in a horizontal plane and around a vertical longitudinal center axis of the skimming and separation device, and
• a basket arranged within said compartment, wherein said basket comprises a floating circular ring defining an upper border of the basket and having a certain vertical height that is configured to prevent collected liquid and debris to pass the borders of the basket, and that the rest of the basket is structured to be arranged within a main separating area/volume of the device and includes netting or lamellas structured to allow free motions of collected debris into a collecting and discharge volume of the basket.
