Arctic skimmer

“Lamor has many years of real life experience in extreme arctic conditions in many northern countries and with very cold viscous oils”

How it works

The Arctic Skimmer is normally deployed by a crane or davit but can also be operated as a free-floating skimmer utilizing the optional floats when required. The skimmer incorporates static ice deflection pipes and rotating brush wheels for separation and collection of oil. It’s equipped with a hot water injection system to improve recovery in Arctic conditions. The two brush wheels collect and separate the oil from the water and ice particles are crushed by the ice crushing screws installed in the hopper. The certified recovery capacity of the skimmer is 125 m3/h (550 GPM). Optionally the product can also be fitted with floats for skimmer use in open waters.
