(800) 200-4603 • info@oilskim.com • www.oilskim.com Benefits of using an oil skimmer: Removed waste oil can be valuable to other industries. • An automatic oil skimmer continuously removes oil unattended, 24/7. • The cost of an outside contractor to haul away oil is reduced with an oil skimmer. • Using an oil skimmer prevents foul odors and clogs in lines and sprays by removing coolant’s tramp oil. What to look for in an oil skimmer: • An oil skimmer’s removal capacity should match the amount of oil that is generated. • The oil skimmer should be able to skim when floating debris is present and should adjust to liquid level fluctuations. Additional products and accessories to aid the oil skimmer: • A decanter returns any water removed by the skimming process back to the skim tank. • Pre-fabricated mounting systems provide safe and easy access to the oil skimmer. • Vapor hoods are used with oil skimmers when oil is removed from areas where volatile organic compounds are present. With the right oil skimmer, a facility can effectively manage oil and save time and money. For more information on oil skimmers, visit www.oilskim.com. a little off the top, please.
