EPA & Coast Guard Approved The SEABAT Model 150 Power Skimmer draws contaminated liquid over a Delta Gate concentrating oil ahead of a floating weir. The oil is drawn over the weir with an onboard transfer pump capable of over 150 gpm. The recovered liquid is pumped to a containment vessel at better than 95% oil. The water drawn into the skimmer is expelled from the rear by means of an induction propeller. This process literally draws the contaminated water to the skimmer for removal rather than chasing it! The entire unit weighs less than 230 tbs. and is powered by a 10 hp hydraulic supply capable of 8 gpm at 2500 psi, and can be operated in as little as 18 inches of water! With crude oil prices in excess of $60/bbl. The SEABAT Model 150 Power Skimmer can recover as much as $ 12,857.14 of oil each hour of operation, returning the cost of your initial investment in a matter of hours! Factor in the savings from possible fines and the SEABAT Model 150 Power Skimmer is an invaluable asset in the recovery of floating hydrocarbons. Applications range from inPlant collection sumps or reservoirs to major/spills in lakes, rivers, and streams as well as offshore applications. Other "Large Scale" skimming vessels cannot compete with the SEABAT Model 150 Power Skimmer as regulations do not permit the excess water picked up along with the oil to be returned directly to the source requiring expensive process treatment for its return to the water stream. The SEABAT Model 150 Power Skimmer actually rides the waves virtually eliminating water breaking over the weir.
