The XENA Disc Oil Skimmer is a floating oil recovery system designed for collecting oil, petroleum products and organic oils from the water surface.
It can be used for oil spill response in ports, harbours, coastal areas and other protected waters where efficient recovery of floating hydrocarbons is required.
The XENA range includes several models with different recovery capacities, allowing the skimmer to be selected according to the scale of the spill and operating conditions.
Efficient Oil Recovery
The XENA skimmer uses rotating oleophilic discs to collect oil from the water surface.
Oil adheres to the surface of the rotating discs and is then mechanically removed by scrapers. The recovered product is directed into the collection chamber and subsequently pumped to a storage tank located on shore, on a vessel or on another suitable platform.
The rotational speed and operating performance can be adjusted according to the type of oil, spill conditions and required recovery rate.
The XENA Disc Skimmer is suitable for recovering:
- Crude oil
- Diesel fuel
- Fuel oil
- Lubricating oils
- Other petroleum products
- Vegetable and organic oils
The system can be used with oils of different viscosities depending on environmental and operating conditions.
The XENA Disc Skimmer can be used for:
- Emergency oil spill response
- Port and harbour operations
- Coastal oil spill recovery
- Industrial facilities
- Oil terminals and refineries
- Marinas and shipyards
- Rivers, lakes and other protected waters
Its floating design allows the skimmer to follow changes in the water level while maintaining continuous contact with the contaminated surface.
The skimmer is positioned directly in the contaminated area.
Rotating discs pass through the oil layer, where hydrocarbons adhere to their surface. As the discs rotate, scrapers remove the collected oil and direct it into the internal collection chamber.
The recovered liquid is then transferred by an external pump through a discharge hose to a temporary storage tank or other receiving system.
The discs can be manufactured from selected materials according to the required application and characteristics of the recovered product.
The operating parameters of the XENA skimmer can be adjusted according to the specific spill situation.
This allows the operator to optimise recovery performance depending on:
- Oil viscosity
- Thickness of the oil layer
- Water conditions
- Required recovery capacity
- Type of recovered product
Depending on the configuration, the skimmer can be powered by a hydraulic or electric drive.
The XENA Disc Skimmer can be supplied as part of a complete oil spill response system.
Depending on project requirements, the equipment package may include:
- Oil transfer pump
- Hydraulic or electric power unit
- Discharge hoses
- Temporary storage tanks
- Oil containment booms
- Tow or deployment equipment
- Additional oil spill response accessories
This allows the skimmer to be integrated into a complete recovery system for emergency or permanent oil spill response operations.
- Effective Oil Recovery: Oleophilic rotating discs provide continuous recovery of floating oil from the water surface.
- Adjustable Operation: The skimmer performance can be adapted to different spill conditions and types of recovered oil.
- Multiple Models: A range of capacities allows the equipment to be selected for both small-scale and larger oil spill response operations.
- Compact Floating Design: The skimmer is easy to deploy and can be operated in ports, coastal areas and other protected waters.
- Flexible Power Options: Hydraulic or electric drive configurations can be provided depending on operational requirements.
- Integration with Oil Spill Equipment: The XENA skimmer can be combined with pumps, hoses, storage tanks and oil containment booms to create a complete recovery system.
