Less risk of injury to workers as less time is needed in or near the water.
The Micro Oil Skimmer equipment can be easily controlled from onshore.
- What concentration of contaminant can be achieved using the Micro Oil Skimmer in oil spills?
With the use of primary gravity separation, nearly 100% in the case of non-emulsified contaminants.
- How does the Micro Oil Skimmer compare to other clean-up systems?
