Surface Water Oil Skimmer

The unit removes as much as 100 gallons of waste oil per hour and discharges it into a drum so efficiently that the recovered waste oil is virtually water free.

Surface water oil skimmer.

The fws is automatically self adjusting and flow controlled meaning that by controlling your pump s flow rate you can adjust the skim or cut coming off the surface from 1 8 to over 1 1 4 automatically. Filmed oil can be skimmed. An oil skimmer functions by mechanically separating skimming oil floating on the surface of water or skimming the top layer of fluid from a body of water. They are the most efficient floating oil skimmers to clean up a spill incident.

Floating weir oil skimmers float on the surface of water where the highest concentration of oil is located. Weirs gravity oil skimmers and suction skimmers collect oil water and anything else on the surface. The unit efficiently removes as much as 100 gallons of waste oil per hour and discharges it to the collection vessel. Non selective skimmers do not discriminate between oil and water.

Efficient performance of skimming oil. The first type are called oloephilic as they use a process of adhesion to pick up the oil eg a drum oil skimmer uses a rotating plate to which the oil adheres and is subsequently wiped off. The oil skimmers model 6v waste oil recovery system removes animal vegetable and petroleum based oils fats greases and oily wastes that float on the surface of water or other liquids. The height of the intake weir is adjustable allowing the oil skimmer to efficiently remove thin or thick layers of oil or pollutant.

As fluid is pumped from the skimmer sump the buoyant flow control weir automatically self adjusts drops allowing an equal amount to flow across the weir and into the floating skimmer head. The oil skimmers model 6v waste oil recovery system removes animal vegetable and petroleum based oils fats greases and oily wastes that float on the surface of water or other liquids. This skimmer starts off with the sump filled with water and or oil which floats the weir to the closed position. The surface skimmer will auto adjust with the water level.

The auto skimmer removes floating oils from pits tanks storm water collection tanks or sumps. 13mm outer diameter glass fit the canister filter tubing of 1 2 12 16mm. Water surface flowrate can be adjusted by rotating the bottom part. The floating weir skimmer fws is a simple well proven industrial oil skimmer or surface decanter that works with any pump that can pull suction.

Installed easily and low power consumed. Floating weir oil skimmers consist of a number of floats and a central intake weir. Surface skimmer effectively remove the dirty film on top of the water. Perfect for non point source floating oil removal such as monitoring wells bypasses scale pits runway runoff maintenance yards mining applications and api separators or any still water surface.
