Skimmer - Weir
- A weir skimmer is used to remove oil from the water.
- A weir skimmer has three connected floats supporting a central shallow dish.
- The top of the dish sits 10mm - 20mm below the surface of the water. Upon starting the skimmer the water in the dish is sucked away by a pump. As the dish empties the surface oil and some water, the oil (if not thicker than 10mm - 20mm), falls into the dish and is pumped to shore.
- A special floating ring (joined to the top of the dish with a rubber skirt that concertinas) will automatically re-adjust the skimming depth to 10mm - 20mm in choppy water.
- Global's weir skimmer range has the capacity from 5 tonne/hour to 120 tonne/hour.
- The larger capacity skimmers (40 tonne/hour +) have hydraulic driven on-board pumps whilst smaller skimmers use external suction pumps.
