The DELTA Shallow Water Oil Skimmer is a lightweight and durable floating recovery system designed for collecting and pumping out oil and petroleum products in shallow water and hard-to-reach areas.
Its compact design makes it particularly suitable for locations where larger skimmers cannot be effectively deployed, including rivers, lakes, coastal areas, ports, harbours and marinas.
High Recovery Capacity
Depending on the type of pump, characteristics of the recovered product and its viscosity, the DELTA skimmer can provide a recovery capacity of up to 30 tonnes per hour.
This makes the system suitable for both emergency spill response and planned oil recovery operations.
The DELTA Shallow Water Skimmer can be used for:
- Emergency oil spill response
- Recovery of oil and petroleum products
- Shallow-water cleanup
- River and lake protection
- Coastal and shoreline cleanup
- Port and harbour operations
- Marina maintenance
- Industrial and environmental cleanup operations
The DELTA skimmer can operate in water depths starting from approximately 7 cm, making it suitable for oil spill recovery in very shallow areas.
It can be used for:
- Rivers and lakes
- Shallow coastal waters
- Beaches and shorelines
- Ports and harbours
- Marinas
- Areas under bridges
- Other difficult-to-access locations
Its lightweight construction allows the unit to be transported, deployed and repositioned easily during oil spill response operations.
The DELTA floating module can be connected to different types of suction pumps or vacuum recovery units.
This allows the system to be adapted to the available equipment and specific operating conditions.
Recovered oil and petroleum products are collected from the water surface and transferred through the hose system to a storage or separation unit.
The DELTA skimmer is designed for straightforward deployment and operation.
Its free-floating configuration follows the water surface while allowing oil products to be collected from shallow areas where conventional skimming equipment may be difficult to use.
The compact design also makes the system suitable for rapid deployment during emergency response operations.
Depending on the configuration, the DELTA skimmer set includes:
- Floating oil collection platform
- Oil transfer pump
- Hose system for recovered product transfer, up to 10 m
- Coarse separator with SKM3 belt oil skimmer
- Buoyancy system
- Automatic control panel
- Shallow Water Operation: Capable of operating in water depths starting from approximately 7 cm.
- High Recovery Performance: Recovery capacity of up to 30 tonnes per hour, depending on the pump, product type and viscosity.
- Lightweight Construction: Easy to transport, deploy and reposition during response operations.
- Access to Difficult Areas:Suitable for locations where larger recovery systems cannot be effectively used.
- Flexible Pump Compatibility: Can be connected to different suction pumps or vacuum recovery units.
- Complete Recovery System: Can be supplied with pumping, hose, separation and control equipment as a complete oil recovery solution.
