Mavi Deniz Side Collector Oil Skimmer is a vessel side-mounted advancing skimming system for tugs, workboats, and sizeable offshore supply vessels. In addition to the skimmer unit on one or two sides of the workboat, the total Side Collector system typically consists of automatic or manual outrigger jib arms and sweeping booms.
With the proven stiff brush technology, Side Collector Oil Skimmer offers high performance and safety for Offshore, Onshore, and Inland waters Oil Spill Recovery Operations. The Side Collector operates efficiently at vessel speeds of up to 4 knots, resulting in excellent vessel maneuverability and a very high oil encounter rate.
The new generation brush conveyor belt is a double-acting skimming system for the Side Collector Oil Skimmer. The double-acting brush conveyor belt can be rotated in both directions and has a dual brush scraper that allows the two-way operation for all kinds of oils, from light to the heaviest. Moreover, the side collector system has an adjustable backplate to control the flow when recovering light, medium, or heavy viscous oils by enhancing the selectivity to separate oils.
Side Collector Oil Skimmer – Skimmer Head Type
- Disc Type
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 Type
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.
- Brush Type
The brushes rotated down through the oil slick, the oil collected on the discs were removed using scrapers, and the oil flowed into a tank. A pump offloaded the oil up to collection tanks. - Grooved Type
The grooved 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.
The encountered oil is directed to the skimmer and scraped further to the integrated hydraulic oil transfer pump. The number of brush chains selected is based on vessel size and required capacity.
With a high recovery speed, the side collector system can recover the largest possible area of an expanding oil slick at sea. The system’s deployment can start skimming oil within minutes of arrival on-site and be operated by a small crew requiring very little specialized training.
Detailed drawings and design of the side collector system are tailor-made for each vessel for optimized efficiency, operation, and safety, considering vessel particulars, capacity requirements, and other factors.
The Side Collector system can fit various types and sizes of vessels, serving as oil recovery units installed in new buildings and existing ships. Please note the specifications shown here are examples of a single-side system.
Optional
- Hydraulic-driven transfer pump
