OIL WATER SEPARATORS
Oil Skimmer
Automatic Draw-Off Device (ADD)
Our patented ADD Oil Skimmer automatically and mechanically collects the oil that has been separated but is still floating on the surface of the water inside the oily water separator (OWS). Once a conventional OWS is full of oil, it has to be removed. In many cases, operators use manual drain ports or suction to drain or extract the separated oil but this tends to be problematic since such manually drained or suctioned used oil usually contains a high content of unwanted water.
Separated oil containing a lot of water is usually picked up by septic service trucks and transported to wastewater treatment plants. The separated oil is not only lost this way but the process is very costly. With the ADD Skimmer, the oil being separated inside the separator is mechanically and automatically collected and drained by gravity to a separate receptacle / compartment positioned inside or next to the separator.
Our patented “ADD” Oil Skimmer is a game-changer in the industry since it skims automatically and mechanically — achieving 99.7% pure oil extraction. This means that the extracted oil has 0.3 % in water content — making the skimmed oil pure enough to use in oil burners in-house and valuable enough for local oil recycling companies to haul it away free of charge in most cases.
