Potential - Floating Suction Oil Skimmer
Floating suction is designed to suck the top layer of oil from the surface of the liquid. The floating suction is used in conjunction with an industrial vacuum system or a positive displacement pump. The floating suction self-repositions according to the liquid level in the tank. Suction depth can be set and fine-tuned to accommodate aggressive surface suction and underneath a foam layer to remove the top layer of oily water. The system comprises LLDPE floats, stainless steel articulated suction arm, swivel assembly (specially designed for immersed service), vortex breaker, low shear positive displacement pump, and pressure relief valve.
Floating suction works on the principle of buoyancy. On operation of the pump, the free-floating oil and oily water enter the funnel, pass through the articulated suction arm, and are discharged using a pump. A low-shear positive displacement pump is used to avoid emulsification.
