Oil skimmers are essential environmental sustainability equipment required in Indonesian seas to minimize the impact of marine and aquatic pollution caused by oil spills. This equipment is essential for protecting marine environments from pollution and marine activities from pollution.
HUAHAI Environmental’s Oil Trawl is a professional recovery device designed specifically for high-viscosity crude oil and semi-solidified oil spills, addressing the limitations of traditional mechanical skimmers. When high-viscosity crude oil solidifies into chunks at room temperature, floating or suspending in water, this product efficiently entraps and recovers the oil through towing. Featuring a modular design, the dragnet is detachable from the main net, allowing for quick replacement when full, which significantly boosts emergency response efficiency. Its robust, seawater-resistant construction makes it an ideal solution for high-viscosity oil spill scenarios in oceans, ports, and rivers.
Core Supporting Equipment
Work Boat / Tug Boat : Provides the towing power essential for the oil trawl’s operation.
Oil Containment Boom : Deployed around the operation area to prevent oil from spreading, improving the trawl’s recovery efficiency.
Lifting Equipment : Used to lift the heavy, oil-filled net bags out of the water for replacement and unloading.
Replacement Net Bags : Multiple spare net bags are provided for quick on-site changes, enabling continuous operation.
Oil Transfer Equipment : Such as transfer pumps, for moving the oil from the net bags to storage containers or transport vessels.

Application Scenarios
High-Viscosity Oil Spill Recovery : Specifically designed for recovering high-viscosity crude oil, heavy oil, or oil that has solidified in low temperatures on the sea or river surface.
Port and Terminal Emergencies : Responds to oil spill incidents in ports and terminals, particularly handling oil that has solidified into chunks.
Offshore Oilfield Operations : Serves as emergency equipment for offshore drilling platforms, addressing high-viscosity spills near the platform.
River and Lake Cleanup : Effectively entraps and recovers floating oil chunks in inland waters such as rivers and lakes.
Polar and Low-Temperature Environments : Handles oil spills that have solidified due to extremely low temperatures in cold sea areas.
Construction
Rigid Frame : Constructed from galvanized steel pipe, providing a robust support structure that maintains the trawl’s shape during towing.
Buoyancy Units : Mounted on both sides of the frame, providing sufficient buoyancy to keep the trawl afloat on the water surface.
Main Net : Woven from high-strength nylon, forming the primary structure for entrapping oil and guiding it into the dragnet.
Dragnet / Net Bag : Sewn from wear-resistant and oil-resistant nylon fabric, it is the core component for oil collection and is designed for quick detachment and replacement.
Connection & Towing System : Includes high-strength towing ropes and quick-release connectors, ensuring a safe connection and efficient power transfer between the trawl and the work boat.
