Force 7 offshore emergency oil skimmer
The Force 7 offshore oil recovery system uses a polypropylene mop fibre and is designed specifically to deal with offshore oil slicks. A range of oil viscosities and emulsions can be effectively recovered using the mop. Recovery is possible even in thin layers of oil and the system is not restricted by the limitations and expenses of containment
The Force 7 offshore oil recovery system uses a polypropylene mop fibre and is designed specifically to deal with offshore oil slicks.
A range of oil viscosities and emulsions can be effectively recovered using the mop. Recovery is possible even in thin layers of oil and the system is not restricted by the limitations and expenses of containment booms and associated deployment vessels. The fibre continues to work at maximum efficiency even in force 7 conditions at sea.
Based on experience and assuming that the oil is of a uniform thickness, projected recovery rates are:
• 5 tonnes per hour at 100 micron film thickness • 35 tonnes per hour at 1mm film thickness • 56 tonnes per hour at 2mm film thickness • 70 tonnes per hour at 6mm film thickness
