The OILX Drum Oil Skimmer is a floating oil recovery system designed for collecting oil and petroleum products of different viscosities from the water surface.
Its robust construction, efficient recovery principle and resistance to marine conditions make the OILX suitable for oil spill response operations in ports, harbours, coastal waters and other protected water areas.
Efficient Drum Recovery System
The OILX skimmer uses rotating drums to recover floating oil from the water surface.
As the drums rotate through the contaminated area, oil adheres to their surface and is mechanically removed into the skimmer’s collection chamber. The recovered product can then be transferred to an external storage tank or other receiving system.
This operating principle provides continuous oil recovery while helping minimise the amount of water collected together with the oil.
The OILX skimmer is designed for recovering oil products of different viscosities and can operate with different thicknesses of surface contamination.
Replaceable recovery cartridges allow the system to be adapted to the characteristics of the spilled product and specific operating conditions.
The OILX Drum Skimmer can be used for:
- Emergency oil spill response
- Ports and harbours
- Oil terminals
- Marinas and shipyards
- Coastal and protected waters
- Industrial facilities
- Rivers, lakes and reservoirs
- Permanent oil recovery applications
The skimmer can also be operated together with oil containment booms to concentrate and recover floating oil more efficiently.
The OILX skimmer is manufactured using special aluminium alloys selected for resistance to aggressive marine environments.
Its floating construction provides stable operation on the water surface, while the durable materials help ensure reliable performance during repeated oil spill response operations.
The OILX skimmer is powered by a hydraulic system driven by an internal combustion engine.
The hydraulic drive provides reliable operation in locations where an external electrical power supply may not be available, making the system suitable for mobile and emergency response applications.
The OILX Drum Skimmer can be supplied as part of a complete oil spill recovery system.
Depending on project requirements, the equipment package may include:
- Hydraulic power unit
- Oil transfer pump
- Discharge hoses
- Temporary storage tanks
- Oil containment booms
- Sorbent materials
- Deployment and recovery equipment
- Additional oil spill response accessories
This allows the OILX skimmer to be configured as a complete solution for emergency or planned oil recovery operations.
- Efficient Oil Recovery: Rotating drums provide continuous recovery of floating oil and petroleum products from the water surface.
- Wide Range of Applications: The system can be used with oil products of different viscosities and varying thicknesses of surface contamination.
- Replaceable Recovery Elements: Interchangeable cartridges allow the skimmer configuration to be adapted to different oil products and operating conditions.
- Marine-Grade Materials: Aluminium alloys provide good corrosion resistance and durability in demanding marine environments.
- Hydraulic Operation: The hydraulic drive allows the skimmer to operate independently in remote locations and during emergency response operations.
- Complete System Integration: The OILX can be combined with pumps, hoses, storage tanks and containment booms to create a complete oil spill recovery system.
