Spiral Skimmer
These are primarily used for light frothy scums. The power operated,
revolving spiral shaped blade, mounted ahead of a scum trough, skims the
floating materials from the tank surface and deposit it into the scum
trough for further disposal.
Circular Skimmer
These are used where small volumes of skimmings are anticipated. Common
applications include primary clarifiers in sewage or industrial
wastewater treatment plants where only small amounts of oils must be
skimmed.
Roll Skimmer
This skimmer finds wide application in the refining, petro-chemcial,
automotive, steel mill, machine shop and similar industries for free
mineral oil removal from liquid surfaces. The skimming unit comprising
of a pipe roll revolves down into an oil film on the water surfaces and
preferentially picks up an oil film on the roll surface. The adhering
oil film is doctored off into a trough for further removal. These can be
provided either as wall mounted fixed units or pontoon mounted floating
units.
