OIL SKIMMER

Application of a Belt Skimmer

The NWS oil skimmer is a compact belt skimmer, which is used to remove oil from the surface with coolants/lubricants, emulsions, and degreasing baths.

Operation of a Belt Skimmer

The oil is removed by a rotating belt passed down through the surface of the liquid. Oil floating on the liquid surface sticks to the belt. The belt pulls the oil free of the liquid surface and elevates it to the skimmer, where it is scraped off the belt and runs down into the skimmer separation tank.

NEED LOTS OF OIL RECOVERY?

TPI-Tilted Plate Interceptor

Oil-water separators recover and separate oil from water. American Petroleum Institute (API) separators have been the go-to solution for years, but tilted plate separators with parallel packs offer a more cost-effective method. Parallel plates enhance oil-water separation, requiring less space than API separators. Our oil skimmers are simple, reliable, and effective. To learn more, contact us.

Advantages of the TPI system

• No moving parts
• High separation efficiency
• Compact construction gives great economy in space and footprint
• Low installation costs on site since units can be prefabricated
• Minimum maintenance and operation costs
• Uniformity in design guarantees quick delivery of units and spares
• Short hydraulic retention time
• Continuous operation
• Insensitive to weather conditions

Typical removal rates

• Oil globules cut off diameter: 10 – 60 µm and larger
• Oil removal 50 – >99%
• Residual 5 – 20 ppm slop oil
• TSS removal 80 – >90%
