Skimmers

WCMRC has a range of skimmers in our inventory, including weir and rope-mop systems. However, the most common are brush and disk skimmers. Some of the systems are equipped with interchangeable disk, drum, and brush skimming modules to allow for skimming a complete range of oils and viscosities, from light diesels up to heavy crudes. Some of the larger skimmers in our inventory can recover 150,000 litres of product per hour. WCMRC maintains 65 skimmers with a total capacity to recover 516,000 litres per hour.

Brush Skimmers

Brush Skimmers

Brush skimmers are floating oil skimmers with rotating brushes for high volume recovery. These types of skimmers have proven to be very effective with heavier products, including crude oil, dilbit and bunker C.

Disk Skimmers

Disk Skimmers

Disk skimmers use rotating discs covered with a fuzzy oleophilic material. The oleophilic material collects oil as the disc passes through the water and wiper blades scrape off the oil into a collection tank. This skimmer is typically deployed for spills of lighter oils such as diesel.
