SurfCleaner® SCW 6000
Unique functionality for removal, separation, and recovery of sludge on water surfaces
SurfCleaner – the world’s first skimmer separator hybrid
SurfCleaner for removal of sludge in wastewater plants
The SCW 6000 is designed to remove sludge and foam from the water surface in wastewater treatment plants, where these pollutants otherwise prohibit an effective water cleaning process. By removing and separating the sludge, the water cleaning process will run more effectively, and the sludge can be reused for bioenergy production. The SCW 6000 is controlled remotely by an easy-to-use app for smartphone or tablet.
SurfCleaner – the Skimmer Separator Hybrid
Automated and highly effective, SurfCleaner represents a solid contribution towards managing the global water surface pollution problem. It is a well-proven, energy efficient system that collects and separates pollutants from water surfaces. Easy to install, run and maintain, SurfCleaner will separate floating pollutants from any water surface.
SurfCleaner is advanced yet ingeniously simple. The patented collection and separation process has been developed into a self-managing solution consisting of only two moving parts. The separated sludge is discharged to an external storage tank and can be used for bioenergy production, recycling or safe disposal.

About SurfCleaner
SurfCleaner designs, develops and manufactures the world’s first hybrid skimmer separators for removal, separation and recovery of contaminants floating on the water surface – oil, diesel, petrol, plastics, sludge, debris, microplastics, algae and more. The SurfCleaner technology is unique; by combining variations in inflow velocity and direction with gravimetric separation, the process is very efficient – keeping pollutants from accumulating on the surface and therefore help minimising greenhouse gas emissions.
The SurfCleaner makes it possible for water treatment plants to solve sludge problems and increase biogas production. We help industries to recover oil, diesel and petrol from contaminated water and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 95%. We also remove oil in ports, rivers, lakes, mines and oil pits. Future models of SurfCleaner will remove plastics and algae in rivers, ports and coastal areas and make the oceans cleaner.
Customers include Sonatrach Raffineria Italiana, Ragn-Sells, Swedish Coast Guard, Preem Refinery, Esso, Exxon Mobil and Ports of Stockholm.
The principle behind the technology is Dr Stig Lundbäck’s discovery of the human heart’s Dynamic Adaptive Piston Pump (DAPP) functionality. He built on this DAPP technology to invent and develop the SurfCleaner – he also applied other universal laws of physics from the nature and the universe, such as gravity, equilibrium, variation in rotation velocity in the center and the periphery, different density, and more.
This makes the SurfCleaner a truly natural machine, working in concert with the laws of nature, instead of trying to combat them. The natural buouyancy sends the liquid in vertical and horizontal motion inside the body of the SurfCleaner. The SurfCleaner needs no pump, no powerpack, no hydraulics, no pneumatics. That is why the operation of the SurfCleaner is so efficient and cost-effective; we just put the forces of nature to work.
Advanced yet ingeniously simple.
SurfCleaner’s three-step technology:
Removal
The propeller creates negative pressure, causing the water and pollution to flow into the SurfCleaner.
Separation
Deflection disks force the sludge and the water to the periphery. As the flow velocity drops, the sludge floats upwards while the water flows down through the outlet.
Recovery
With the water acting as a piston, the sludge is discharged at the rate of up to 6,000 liters per hour into an external container. The separated sludge has a TS content of at least 5%.
