VEPL make oil skimmer is an effective means of removing oil from water and water-base solutions. Often, skimming by itself will reduce oil to an acceptable level of water purity. Depending on the characteristics of the liquid, we recommend the belt type oil skimmer. The unit can be used as a pretreatment before filtration, and in conjunction with a coalescing system. Oil skimming makes use of the differences in specific gravity and surface tension between oil and water. These physical characteristics allow the belts to attract oil and other hydrocarbon liquids from the surface of the fluid.

Oil Skimmers are simple, dependable and effective tools for removing oil, grease and other hydrocarbons from water and collants. Often, an oil skimmer by itsel can achieve the desired level of water purity. In more demanding situations, oil skimming is a cost-effective menas of removing most of the oil before using more complicated and costly treatments such as coalescers, membrane filters and chemical processes.
