Oil Skimmer
- OIL SKIMMER SYSTEMS
An Oil Skimmer is a simple yet highly effective device used to remove floating oils, grease, and hydrocarbons from the surface of water. It plays a critical role in wastewater treatment by reducing oil content before further treatment and preventing damage to downstream equipment. Oil skimmers are widely used in ETPs, STPs, process industries, machine shops, and cooling water systems.
- How It Works
- The skimmer uses a belt, tube, or disc that continuously moves across the water surface.
- Floating oil adheres to the surface of the skimmer medium.
- The collected oil is scraped off and discharged into a collection container.
- Clean water remains in the tank, suitable for further treatment.
