An oil skimmer is a machine that removes floating oil and grease from liquid. Specifically, the floating oil adheres to skimming media, such as a belt, tube, rope, mop, or disk. Then, the media runs back to the machine to be wiped clean. Additionally, weir style skimmers use a pump to collect floating oils.
An oil skimmer is a mechanical device designed to remove floating oil from the surface of water or other liquids. Because oil is lighter than water, it rises to the surface — and that’s where skimmers do their job.
Whether in an industrial sump, a coolant tank, or an open body of water after a spill, oil skimmers help separate and recover this surface oil for reuse or disposal. Consequently, this process not only keeps systems clean but also prevents environmental contamination and regulatory violations.
Oil and water mixtures derived from manufacturing processes and food processing facilities that are held in large holding tanks or pits. In these applications, oil is usually removed by an oil skimmer or it can be pumped out for disposal. Skimming the floating oils with little water content can reduce the cost of disposal and lower the contingent liabilities of industrial wastewater discharge.
