Oil Skimmer Removes Pond and Pool Residue
The Model 6V oil recovery system from Oil
Skimmers Inc. is claimed to efficiently
remove oily wastes that float on the surface
of water. In operation, a specially formulated
collector tube skims oil from the water
surface: the oil adheres to the outside of
the closed-loop tube, which is slowly drawn
across the surface
of the water
and into the oil
skimmer. The
tube is drawn
into the oil skimmer
and through
scrapers that
remove the oil.
The clean tube
then returns to
the water to skim
more oil. With
the ability to
skim up to 100
gallons per hour,
the Model 6V
transports the recovered oil to a collection
container. The tube automatically adjusts
to varying water levels and is flexible
enough to be able to wind over and around
floating debris. Prefabricated mounting
packages simplify placement of the Model
6V on pits, ponds and open or closed tanks,
thus reducing time and installation costs.
For cold weather operations, the Model 6V
can be outfitted with insulation and heating
packages ensuring the recovered oil moves
easily through the oil skimmer..
