Skimmers Tested to ASTM Standards
Source: OHMSETT
July 2014 - Leonardo, New Jersey USA -- The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) has initiated the testing of stationary skimmer systems owned by BSEE and the U.S. Coast Guard. Skimmers will be tested at Ohmsett in multiple oil types to determine Oil Recovery Rate (ORR) and Oil Recovery Efficiency (ORE) using the ASTM F2709 Standard Test Method for Determining Nameplate Recovery Rate of Stationary Oil Recovery Skimmer Systems guidelines. The ASTM test is to give an indication of best possible performance of skimming systems in calm conditions. Results of the tests will be compared to skimmers' Nameplate Capacity; the number currently used to characterize skimmer performance.
During the months of June and July the skimmers tested at Ohmsett included the Elastec/American Marine TDS 118G drum skimmer, the CRUCIAL Inc. Mop Wringer, and the Lamor LWS 500 weir skimmer. Additional skimmers will be tested throughout the year.
