Slotted Pipe Skimmer
Slotted Pipe Oil Skimmer is a simple type of oil skimmer that utilizes a slotted (half-open) pipe to capture and lift oil floating on the surface of water. This device is designed to effectively separate free oil from water using a straightforward and efficient operating principle. The oleophilic pipe attracts oil from the surface and directs it into a collection or further treatment system.
This skimmer is an economical and practical choice, ideal for a wide range of industrial applications and wastewater treatment processes with light to medium contamination levels.
