Reduced size: The oil skimmer will fit anywhere, from a 44 gallon drum
to the Pacific Ocean. The oil skimmer has a draught of only 150 mm or

also makes a very useful tool in any oil spill emergency response kit.

always where it needs to be and it is self-adjusting. Just toss it in the water
and forget about it.

reliable materials This makes it easy to understand and work with during

It nearly eliminates the need for manhandling floating booms - a
slippery task, where falls are always a risk, particularly when fully

for high temperature incinerators and the number of workers required
for a hazardous oil spill clean up is greatly reduced.
