Mechanized Oil Removal — 1/2
Capacity rangeSkid-mounted units sized to the pit, pond or separator-tank volume and flow rate they're retrofitted onto, from single-pit installations up to multi-skid industrial sites.
Influent / effluent conditionsRemoves free and dispersed oil and grease from pits, holding ponds and API separator tanks, bringing oil & grease concentration down to levels acceptable for discharge or downstream biological treatment.
FootprintCompact skid package that sits on or beside the existing pit, pond or tank, so it adds minimal footprint of its own.
Operating requirementsFully automatic skimming with minimal operator input; periodic removal of recovered oil and routine skimmer maintenance.
InstallationsRefineries, workshops, food processing plants and other industrial sites generating oily wastewater.
