OSI - Model 3F 360-Degree Series -Floating Weir Skimmer

If you need to remove large quantities of oil in a limited amount of time and accomplish that removal at high rates, 3F Series floating weir skimmers are the solution. These skimmers can be set up and deployed easily by one person — a distinct advantage when fast response is required because of a spill, leak or sudden increase in oil volume.

• High volume oil removal with continuous operation
• Floating skimmers easily adjust and continue to operate what water levels fluctuate
• Simple and effective skimmers with few moving parts require little maintenance

Some of the most common applications for floating oil skimmers are:

• Power generation plants
• Oil refineries
• Frac water tanks
• Food harvesting and processing facilities
• Duckweed removal from ponds
• Emergency spill response
• Industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants
• Chemical processing plants
• Industrial process water treatment
• Stormwater treatment
• Vacuum truck services

Weir skimmers quickly, easily, and safely skim oil, grease, and other floating solids like duckweed from the surface of water. Removing oil first, before other wastewater treatment like ultra-filtration or chemical treaments, makes the processes more effective and less costly. If oil remained in the wastewater to blind filters and effect chemical treatment, regular maintenace and frequent, costly replacement of filters and chemicals would be required.

In any application where oil or other contaminant is floating freely on the surface of water, but implemenation of a Brill™ tube type oil skimmer does not apply. This could be due to location, space limitations, power supply, the substance being recovered does not adhere to the tube, or the required recovery rate exceeds that of tube skimmer.
