Catamaran Collector Oil Skimmer unit selectively attracts oil and water-in-oil emulsions, ensuring the complete recovery of spilled oil entering between the hulls. The oleophilic brush, mop, drum, or disc is propelled between the catamaran hulls at the vessel’s speed over the water, passed into the water at the vessel’s bow, and recovered to the vessel storage. Catamaran Collector is a high-efficiency skimmer for recovering floating oil on water.

The Catamaran Oil Skimming System’s success lies in the extremely high performance of the Oil Recovery capacity, which can collect a wide range of oil types and operating conditions. The converted – Skimmer System’s feature key manages and separates the oil in a single operation. The Skimmer System’s high performance maintains thick oil slicks and sheens between the catamaran hulls into the unit. The Catamaran Oil Recovery System design works in an integrated Oil Vessel, allowing easy and safe deployment.

Catamaran Collector – Oil Skimmer Modules

  • Brush Module
    The brushes rotated down through the oil slick, the oil collected on the discs was removed using scrapers, and the oil flowed into a tank. A pump offloaded the oil up to collection tanks.
  • Disc Module
    The discs rotated down through the oil slick, and the oil collected on the discs was removed using scrapers in between the discs. Oil flowed from the discs, down the scrapers, and into a tank, where a pump offloaded the oil to collection tanks.
  • Drum Module
    The drums rotated down through the oil slick, and the oil collected on the drums was removed using scrapers. Oil flowed from the wipers into a tank, where a pump offloaded the oil to collection tanks.
  • Mop Module
    Mop Module selectively attracts oil and water-in-oil emulsions, ensuring the complete recovery of spilled oil between the hulls. The oleophilic rope mops are propelled between the side hulls at the vessel’s speed over the water, passed into the water at the vessel’s bow, and recovered over a roller fitted at midships. The oil is then completely removed from the rope when pressed as it goes through a wringer near the skimmer’s bow. The recovered oil is collected in a sump beneath the wringer unit and then transferred via an onboard pump to the built-in storage tanks or alternative storage, such as a floating tank.

The Catamaran Oil Skimming Systems incorporate oil removal and handling systems to allow operation under any conditions. Oil Skimmer units come complete with a skimmer unit, pump unit, and hydraulic & transfer hydraulic power unit. The number of modules can be varied accordingly, depending on the width of the vessel’s recovery channel. Due to the orientation between the vessel hulls, sea conditions will not affect the brush system’s recovery capacity.

The Brush Skimmer – Disc Skimmer – Drum Skimmer, Mop Skimmer modules can raise and lower to the functional level by hydraulic rams, thus minimizing operator intervention and allowing the vessel to travel faster when not recovering oil.
