THE SKIMSTER® Floating Oil Skimmer will remove free and dispersed surface oil from wastewater. It works on the principle of a controlled buoyancy weir coupled with a floating slide valve to effectively remove oil or other light liquid from the surface of the water. The pulsing action from the diaphragm pump brings the oily wastewater mixture to the SKIMSTER for efficient/effective removal.
THE SKIMSTER® also has the ability to move to different locations.
THE SKIMSTER®is attached to a 1/2" air diaphragm pump by a 3/4" hose, the suction from the pump and floating skimmer pulls the oil/water mixture into the intake of the skimmer, then to a Oil/Water Separator where the oil is removed from the wastewater and stored for recycling. The water is sent back to the storage tank or sent directly to the Sewer. (Check with your local Pretreatment Coordinator / Municipality for effluent limits and guidelines before you discharge wastewater.)
