Cleveland, OH, January 18, 2011 — Oil Skimmers, Inc., a leading manufacturer of oil skimming systems, offers an optional decanter that can optimize waste oil recovery in various different applications.
Decanters are useful in applications where the skimmed oil may be frothy because they reduce solution loss. They are also helpful in applications where the oil skimmer operates continuously even though oil may not be constantly present. Many customers require the oil skimmer to operate continuously because they do not know when the oil will accumulate in the liquid; a decanter is used to eliminate liquid from collecting during the time that no oil is present. Even the smallest droplets of water or other liquids, such as coolant, can be separated from the removed oil and returned to the area being skimmed by a decanter. A sludge pan is also provided to catch heavy solids that may be present.
The decanter operates on a simple principle – the difference between the specific gravity of oil and water (or other liquids). Oil will separate and float on top of the water/coolant. A specially engineered manifold with an oil weir allows the oil to overflow into a drum or other container, while the water/coolant is continually discharged back into the area being skimmed. The quantity of water or solution accumulation in waste storage containers is minimized, which helps control costs.
The oil recovery systems from Oil Skimmers, Inc. can be customized and sized to any specification. This includes mounting systems, material of construction, motor voltage and speed, discharge, et cetera. Systems can remove as much as 100 gallons of waste oil per hour. All waste oil can be decanted into drums to be stored or recycled and sold. A durable and simple construction ensures a lifespan of 25 to 30 years for these oil skimmers.
Oil Skimmers Inc. offers long-lasting, customized oil skimming equipment and solutions for diverse manufacturing and industrial applications that require dependable, continuous removal of oil from process liquids and wastewater. With thousands of systems in operation, some for over 30 years, Oil Skimmers provides reliable, cost-saving oil skimmers with excellent customer service and support. Request more information here.
