Floating Weir Oil Skimmer

Floating oil skimmer (weir type) is a high-capacity, easy-to-deploy skimmer. It is used to recover light and medium viscous oils in marine oil spills. The skimmer works on the principle of buoyancy of the floating structure, surface tension of the floating liquid, and self-adjusting weir mouth. A 3-bar mechanism consisting of three floats maintains the weir in a horizontal plan at all times, even during disturbance (waves). An onboard pump is fitted to overcome friction loss along the transfer hose. The oil transfer pump is driven by either a diesel engine or an electric motor-driven hydraulic power pack.

Floating Weir Oil Skimmer Overview

Our high-capacity floating weir skimmer works on the principle of buoyancy of the floating structure, surface tension of the floating liquid, and self-adjusting weir mouth. The simplistic design and ease of deployment are ideal for the recovery of light and medium-viscosity oils in marine oil spills. The oil transfer pump is driven by either a diesel engine or an electric motor-driven hydraulic power pack.
