Oil Skimmer

Oil skimmers are pieces of equipment that remove oil floating on the surface of a fluid. In general, oil skimmers work because they are made of materials to which oil is more likely to stick than the fluid it is floating on. At the same time, the fluid has very little attraction to oil skimmers.

Oil skimmers are usually all that is necessary to remove oil from a liquid. In some cases, however, oil skimmers may be used to pre-treat a fluid. In this case, the oil skimmers remove as much of the oil as possible before more expensive and time-consuming measures are employed. Pre-treating the fluid with oil skimmers reduces the overall cost of cleaning the liquid.

Salient Features

Proper Oil skimmer is critical to various functions in wastewater treatment facility:

• Most inexpensive way to remove oil from Water.
• Saves coolants by removing tramp oil.
• Skimmed oil can be recycled and reused as a lubricant or fuel.

There are several different types of oil skimmers, though all designs depend on the laws of gravity and on surface tension in order to function.

Chemical Mixer Tank

Many industrial chemical applications use mixers to create products, keep chemicals in suspension, for wastewater treatment purposes, or to dilute the chemical. Polyethylene tanks are well-equipped to handle that type of process, as most chemicals can be safely combined. In this article, we’ll discuss three basic types of mixing systems that our tanks use.
