Disc skimmers are highly efficient and will only pick up a very small percentage of water. Equally once the oil has been recovered, if left to operate-will not recover water. The system works as oil sticks to the discs as it is rotated through the oil layer; it is scraped off inside the skimmer head with flexible scrapers. The disc skimmer is mainly composed of the hydraulic power station, skimmer head (the main unit), hydraulic oil hose and oil pipeline. It is applicable to recovery oil spills of oil spills on ocean, rivers, ponds and other areas.
The power station operates with the hydraulic oil pump and the oil delivery pump driven by a diesel engine or motor; the main unit is composed of the disc unit, oil collecting channel, buoy and other parts; the main unit floats on the water surface’ s power station is located on a boat or bank.
Disc Oil Skimmer Characteristics
The skimmer head floating on the water surface is made of corrosion-resistant glass fiber reinforced plastics, stainless steel or marine grade aluminum alloy. The skimmer can be used for recovery of spilled oil on the surface of seawater or fresh water and its robust and durable structure is best suited for applications on open seas where rough sea state may occur. Moreover, its floats are foam filled resulting in a dual buoyancy configuration.
Stepless speed regulation of regulation of discs according to in-situ oil spill conditions can guarantee a greater oil to water ratio for recovery.
- With corrosion-resistant glass reinforced plastic, aluminium, stainless steel or flotation unit which can suitable for oil spill in water surface.
- The rotate speed can be adjusted according to different situation so that can decrease percentages of water ratio in oil spillage recovery. Few free water in the recycled oil In the best condition it’s only 3%.rotary oil-collection is better than others.
- It can recover lubricants, fuels, vegetable oils and other flowable oil spills of low and medium viscosity.
- Compact structure, small volume and light weight the workers can transport the skimmer easily. And you can drag the power station with four-wheeler.
- Suitable condition——any spill water area.
- Packing——wooden box
