Potential - Floating Funnel Type Oil Skimmer
Floating funnel oil skimmer is a robust and economical solution for the removal of free-floating oil in a closed roof tank (floating roof, dome roof, cone roof, etc.) or open tanks. It works on the principle of gravity. It does not have any moving mechanical or electrical parts. The floating funnel skimmer incorporates adjustable floats to skim free-floating oils of varying density. As per process requirements, we offer a skimmer with a flexible hose or a fixed arm with swivel joints. Guide poles or ropes are provided to restrict unpredictable lateral movement of the skimmer. Based on the tank geometry, a fixed arm with a swivel joint can be integrated with either a single, double, or triple arm.
Our floating funnel skimmer is self-operating. It works on the principle of buoyancy of floating structure and gravity outlet flow from the skimmer. The two main components of the skimmer are the central funnel and floating body assembly consisting of adjustable floats. Due to surface tension free-floating oil travels towards the funnel and drains out from the bottom of the tank outlet.
