Steam Heating of Oil Skimmers

Elastec Drum Skimmers are uniquely available with a Steam Heating System for cold environments. Steam coils can be installed in the collection trough and sump. Heat is provided by a generator housed in a special trailer.

The heat transferred by the steam helps the skimmer to function by melting the snow and ice surrounding the skimmer allowing the oil to flow onto the collection drums. It also warms the oil that is being picked up aiding the flow to the transfer pump and preventing the hoses from freezing.

The steam generator is packaged with water tank and pump in a custom trailer for ease of transport to the spill site.

We can supply a complete heated skimmer system including steam coils, steam generator etc or simply the coils that can be fed by other heat sources.
