How do skimmers work for oil spills? Skimmers represent a variety of mechanical equipment used to physically remove floating spills from the water surface. Many designs use a “conveyor belt”, placed to carry the spilled oil into a reservoir where it is collected for processing and recovery.To access the broken weir, you will need to remove the skimmer lid on top of the skimmer, usually held in by two or more screws. Take out the screws. Now that the broken weir is exposed, reach inside and feel along the weir’s bottom for two lock pins. This is the release point. To free the broken weir, press each pin simultaneously (listen
Oily water enters the inlet of the separator. Water turbulence is reduced when it meets a baffle and most solids settle to the bottom of the separator. As wastewater flows through the oil/water separator, oil droplets float to the top of the water but are prevented from exiting the separator by a second baffle; any remaining solids settle. 2
