Oil Skimmer Application

Oil Skimmers for Environmental Remediation

Wayne Products oil skimmers for removing floating hydrocarbons and oils from monitoring wells, recovery wells, basins, and other remediation systems.

Remove Floating Hydrocarbons from Water

Environmental remediation systems often require recovery of floating oil or hydrocarbons from monitoring wells, recovery wells, basins, and collection points. Wayne Products belt skimmers provide continuous surface-oil removal when the belt material, reach, capacity, and mounting arrangement are matched to the site conditions.

Why Use an Oil Skimmer for Remediation?

Continuous Surface Recovery

Remove floating oil or hydrocarbons as they collect at the water surface in wells, basins, and recovery systems.

Select for Required Reach

Choose the skimmer and belt reach to match the fluid level, access, mounting arrangement, and depth of the recovery point.

Match Belt Material to the Fluid

Select polyurethane or stainless steel based on fluid chemistry, operating temperature, and site conditions.

Which Oil Skimmer Fits the Site?

Select the skimmer based on fluid chemistry, required reach, mounting conditions, and expected oil load. Mini-Skimmer configurations suit compact recovery points, while Maxi-Skimmer SSP/2 and SSV/5 systems provide wider belts, longer-reach options, and greater capacity for larger remediation installations.

Flat Poly Mini-Skimmer

Best for: Compact wells, basins, and recovery points with lower-volume surface-oil loads

A compact, economical option for recovering floating oil where flat polyurethane is compatible with the fluid and operating conditions.

The fixed-speed SSP/2 provides greater capacity, wider belt options, and longer-reach configurations for larger remediation systems where flat polyurethane is compatible with the recovered fluid.

Maxi-Skimmer SSP/2 — Flat Poly

Best for: Larger remediation wells, basins, and recovery systems with steady surface-oil loads

The fixed-speed SSP/2 provides greater capacity, wider belt options, and longer-reach configurations for larger remediation systems where flat polyurethane is compatible with the recovered fluid.

Maxi-Skimmer SSV/5 — Flat Poly

Best for: Larger remediation systems with variable oil loads

Variable-speed operation lets the SSV/5 adjust to changing oil loads while providing higher oil-removal capacity and long-reach options for larger wells, basins, and recovery systems.

Shop SSV/5

Maxi-Skimmer SSV/5 — Stainless Steel

Best for: High-volume remediation tanks and recovery systems where stainless steel belt construction is preferred

Variable-speed operation lets the SSV/5 adjust the skimming rate as surface-oil loads change, while the stainless steel belt is suited to demanding remediation applications where fluid chemistry or operating conditions favor stainless steel.
