An Oil skimmer works by removing oil and grease that float on the surface of water. The skimmer uses a rotating drum, belt, or floating device to collect the oil, which adheres to the surface of the skimming element. As the skimmer moves, the oil is scraped off and collected for disposal or recycling.
The mechanism ensures that only the oil is captured, while the water below remains unaffected. This is important in industries like wastewater treatment, where separating oil from water prevents contamination and reduces processing costs.
Oil skimmers are widely used in various applications, such as industrial wastewater treatment, oil spill clean-up, and food processing. They are efficient, cost-effective tools for maintaining water quality and preventing the spread of harmful oil contaminants.
