Abasco - Model ATS-40 -Dual-Bank Skimmer

The ABASCO ATS-40 Skimmer is designed for use in harbors and coastal regions. Interchangeable dual recovery banks with brush-, disk- or drum-type banks to recover light to heavy oils. Oil is collected by the rotating oleophilic recovery banks and is removed for collection by scraper blades. A transfer pump, mounted to the skimmer or placed on the shore or vessel, transfers the oil into a collection tank via a 3-in or 4-in hose. The skimmer and pump can both be hydraulically powered and controlled by a dual-circuit diesel/hydraulic power pack or by separate power systems. The skimmer can also be operated by a hydraulic control panel connected to the ship's hydraulic system. The skimming system can also be operated pneumatically using compressed air packages.
