Where an Oleophilic Disc Skimmer Fits in Your Plan

A disc skimmer fits your plan when:

• A highly efficient (in terms of the ratio of oil to total liquid recovered) system is required
• A simple to operate unit is needed
• You have a range of oils from diesel to perhaps 10,000 cSt industrial fuel oil to recover.

Because size and capacity are still primary considerations in selection, these factors must be defined. Disc skimmers of appropriate capacity are easy to fit into the task requirements. Of course, sea-keeping, frequency of use, and a host of other factors are going to impact overall performance. Your dealer can help you to define what those factors are going to be. Whole books have been written on this topic and still none can truly define with accuracy what system type will work best for you. Suffice it to say that a disc skimmer offers good overall performance over the widest range of operating conditions.
