Oil Skimmers, Inc.

Model 6V
The Model 6V employs a specially formulated collector tube that skims oil from the surface of water. The oil adheres to the outside of the closed-loop tube, which is slowly drawn across the surface of the water and into the skimmer. Scrapers remove the oil, which accumulates in a collection chamber. The clean tube then returns to the water to skim more oil. The tube automatically adjusts to varying water levels and is flexible enough to wind over and around floating debris. The system can skim up to 100 gal/h, and is designed to operate 24/7.

Oil Spill Solutions
This manual of field bulletins outlines successful solutions to typical oil/water problems. Topics covered include: effective design of wastewater systems; calculating the quantity and velocity of water flow necessary for wastewater system design; design of the flow control structure; reasons to establish a water conservation program before building an oil spill control system; steps to prepare for an oil spill; an explanation of how and why water and oil mix; a description of a possible oil spill and its solution; examples of how oil skimmers removed oil in specific situations; and methods of preventing oil contamination in water from railroad yards and power plants.

Model 6V vapor hood
The Model 6V vapor hood is a reliable option when oil must be removed from areas where volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are present. Used in such places as tanks and sumps, the Model 6V is fully enclosed with a gasket to prevent the VOCs from escaping into the atmosphere, and is used in conjunction with the Model 6V oil skimmer. The vapor hood is designed so that the electric motor is protected from the skimming area and the VOCs. A built-in decanter in the vapor hood also provides water-free oil skimming. Although enclosed, the vapor hood’s construction allows users to easily access the skimmer for inspection and maintenance. Vapor hoods can be manufactured to specified user height requirements and can be constructed of materials suitable for use in all types of applications.
