Oil Recovery Skimmer Unit

Oil Recovery Skimmer Units are specialized equipment used for the removal of oil from water or other liquids. They are part of the supply class Centrifugals, Separators, and Pressure and Vacuum Filters in the supply group Pumps and Compressors.

These skimmer units are designed to efficiently separate oil from water or other liquids by utilizing centrifugal force, gravity, or other separation methods. They are commonly used in various industries such as oil and gas, wastewater treatment, marine, and environmental cleanup.

The skimmer units typically consist of a collection chamber or tank, a skimming mechanism, and a means of separating the oil from the collected liquid. The skimming mechanism can be a rotating drum, belt, or disc that attracts and collects the oil from the liquid surface.

Once the oil is collected, it is then separated from the liquid using methods such as gravity settling, centrifugal force, or filtration. The separated oil can be further processed or disposed of properly, while the cleaned liquid can be discharged or reused.

Oil Recovery Skimmer Units are essential in preventing oil pollution and maintaining the cleanliness of water bodies and industrial processes. They help in reducing the environmental impact of oil spills, leaks, and other oil-related incidents.

When selecting an Oil Recovery Skimmer Unit, factors such as the type and viscosity of the oil, flow rate, liquid volume, and specific application requirements should be considered. It is important to choose a skimmer unit that is suitable for the intended purpose and capable of effectively removing oil from the liquid.

Overall, Oil Recovery Skimmer Units play a crucial role in oil recovery and environmental protection, ensuring the efficient separation of oil from water or other liquids in various industrial settings.
