Alpha Skimmer

Alpha Skimmer

The Alpha Skimmer (floating weir oil skimmer) is one of the most versatile designs on the market. Made entirely from tough, corrosion resistant stainless steel, the Alpha Skimmer can deal with a variety of aggressive liquids at varying depths and concentrations.

Description

Floating weir oil skimmers float on the surface of water where the highest concentration of oil is located. Floating weir oil skimmers consist of a number of floats and a central intake weir. The height of the intake weir is adjustable, allowing the oil skimmer to efficiently remove thin or thick layers of oil or pollutant. These skimmers are suitable for permanent installation or emergency oil spill response situations, due to their light weight, ease of transportation and one person operation. They are suitable for use with a self priming pump or a gravity feed application.
