Product Use

High volume skimming of marine oil spills. Capable of recovering light, medium or heavy oils.

 

Operational Considerations

Palfinger marine crane lifting capacity is 1,012 lbs./460 kg. System may be deployed and operated directly from the skid or the components (with the exception of the marine crane) can be removed from the skid to operate from a smaller platform. Weir level self-adjusts with the floats adjustable over a 24 in. range for different sea conditions. Skimmer requires 30-36 in.of minimum water depth for proper operation. Additional hoses and fittings are available.
