RS Process Overview
The pipe skimmer designs are used wherever oils, fuels and scum can come into contact with a waste stream. The Rotary Oil Skimmers can be used to retrofit existing tanks to increase floating oil removal rates.
How the Rotary Oil Skimmer Works
The RS Skimmer is located at the effluent end of the tank, spanning the tank width. A manual adjustment handwheel is provided to precisely rotate the skimmer pipe until the lower lip of the slotted weir reaches desired adjustment. Oil layer then rises to skim into the skimmer pipe.
