Skimmer details

Drum skimmers comprise of rotating drums that rotate through the oil and water mix. The oil adheres to the drum and is drawn into the skimmer where it is removed by scrapers mounted within the skimmer.  This method reduces water pickup.

The oil is collected in a sump and drawn to the transfer pump.

The Drum Skimmer system is specifically designed to be effective at retrieving a wide range of oil viscosities.
