An industry must. At last a floating self-adjusting, cost effective industrial and emergency oil floating contaminant and scum skimmer that can be adapted to every strata of industrial and domestic use without breaking the bank. the Micro Oil Skimmer can clear oil and floating contaminants and scum from the surface of water more quickly than any other method.
The Micro Oil Skimmer is ideal for every oil spill emergency response kit. It can be easily positioned at accidental oil spill sites (even in very shallow water), It ends or at least reduces the need for the use of hand held vacuums, absorbent blankets and similar materials that are difficult to handle and dispose of. as well as decreacing the risk of worker injury in these situations.
Micro Oil Skimmer is currently being used by many industries including the US Navy, Air Force and Mobil Exxon.
Typical applications and industries
* Emergency spill recovery - Emergency spill recovery - Can be used in open waters such as lakes, rivers and harbours. But more importantly can still be used in shallow confined situations such as storm water drains and creeks. The Micro Oil Skimmer � is often used for emergency oil spill cleanups and general oil spills.
Widely used to remove floating oil, fats or other material from tanks, sumps and pits.
The Micro Oil Skimmer is designed to remove free-floating oils, fats, grease and other material from the surface of water in indoor and outdoor applications. Typical applications include oil/water equalisation tanks, oil/water separators, settling and cooling ponds and many other applications.
* Food processing industry - Removal/skimming of animal fats, grease and/or vegetable oils from a plant's wastewater stream.
* Parking lots & garages - removal of oil and other floating liquids due to leaks or spills. All water, oil, fuels etc. from petrol station driveways should wash down into some form of pit. This mixture must be separated and the waste oil/petrol that the Micro Oil Skimmer collects is pumped out and disposed of. The remaining water is further treated to become acceptable for easy disposal.
* Sewer Treatment Plants - Can be used in different stages of sewer treatment.
* Storm water run-off sumps and pits - Will remove floating oils/contaminants from storm water run-off before it enters into river systems or oceans.
* Manufacturing plants - Most manufacturing or processing facilities have circulating water systems. The water collects in a holding tank or sump. Removing floating waste liquids with little water content can reduce the cost of disposal.
* Outdoor ponds, lakes, basins, etc. - Where floating oils are present, skimmers provide inexpensive and effective removal, solving a serious environmental problem.
* Transportation - The application exists in the wash down waste water sumps. After transportation vehicles are washed out, the water travels to a collection sump. The Micro Oil Skimmer can be placed in the sump to remove oils and any other floating contaminant that may have been inside the transportation vehicle.
* Steel industry - Several stages may include cooling tanks that require removal of contaminants.
* Petrochemical industry - The Micro Oil Skimmer has several applications in petrochemical/refinery plants. Applications include storage tanks, cooling ponds and waste water tanks just to name a few. Because of its versatility the Micro Oil Skimmer can be applied to almost any application throughout a petrochemical/refining plant where water and floating liquids need to be separated.
* Oil/water separators - Generally the Micro Oil Skimmer can be used in any industry/business where an oil/water separation system is currently in place.
