One of the most effective ways to remove floating oils from an oil water separator is with an electric 12” disk skimmer. Mounted on the side of the clarifier and/or coalescing compartments, the skimmer assembly consists of an oleophilic wheel that slowly rotates so that oils and sludge adhere to the wheel’s surface. A spring-loaded blade wipes the oil from surface of the wheel and discharges the oil into a steel trough connected to the oil storage tank.
The 115V disk skimmer motor is controlled by a simple control panel with a field-adjustable timer so that you can remove floating oils as often as necessary for your particular application.
