Frequently Asked Questions

Which skimming technology is best for my application?

It depends on your oil type, viscosity, and site conditions. Selective skimmers (belt, drum, rope) work best for pure oil recovery. Gravity skimmers (weirs) handle higher volumes and floating debris. Call us—we’ll recommend the right technology.

Can skimmers handle heavy oils and grease?

Yes, we have specific models for heavy oils. The SteelHAWG drum skimmer features heated collection troughs for grease, while rope mop skimmers excel with medium-viscosity oils.

Do skimmers require constant attention?

No, most industrial skimmers run 24/7 unattended. The rope mop skimmer is particularly reliable—many run for months with only periodic oil collection.

Most facilities see ROI within 6-12 months through reduced disposal costs, extended coolant life, and avoided fines. We can help calculate your specific payback period.

Above ground storm shelters are engineered to provide equal or better protection compared to below ground shelters and meet or exceed the same safety standards.

What about installation and training?

We provide complete installation guidance and operator training. Most skimmers install easily with basic mechanical skills.
