Our floating skimmers function like a vacuum cleaner to effectively suck the oil scum off the surface off the water into the skimmer sump. In contrast, rope, disk, drum and other rotating skimmer systems function like mops spreading the footprint of the spill as oil is collected. The advantages of the Douglas Environmental systems have made our floating weirs a mainstay in the emergency response community over the past 25 years.
Douglas Environmental skim-pak systems provide the greatest recovery option available. Floating weir means easier operation during spill response and less maintenance cost between jobs. Furthermore the lightweight high visibility plastic floating weir design means easy transportation and operation during spill response. The simple engineering design means no maintenance costs in storage and reliable operation during clean up.
skim-pakweir type skimmers are simply the best skimmer money can buy. skim-paks are lightweight and compact, constructed of ABS plastic, easily deployed and operated by one person, and the inlet weir automatically adjusts to the pumping rate continually maintaining a skim. Skim-pak can be set up with the intake hose attached directly to the skimmer head for unattended operation or fitted with an operator control accessory package so the operator can set the skimmer weir for optimum collection rate.
