Skimmers and Pumps

Reliability and superb performance, often in arduous operating conditions, characterise the DESMI range of skimmers and pumps. The range of oils they can pump is truly impressive from 0 to 1 million Cst. The new injection flanges significantly reduce pressure loss and enable the pumps to move even more viscous products such as bitumen.

Based on a unique Desmi vertical Archimedean screw design, these submersible pumps can deliver mixtures of oil and water at rates of 30 to 125 m3/hr at discharge pressures of up to 10 bar. They are very effective on a wide range of products that can be found in a spill, including high viscosity oils, emulsions and industrial sludge. The internal cutting knives enable these pumps to handle trash and debris normally found on spill sites.

The high performance Desmi skimmers are suitable for offshore, coastal, inshore and industrial spills. They are fitted with a self adjusting weir that automatically adjusts the weir position according to the pumping rate. This allows them to recover light and heavy oils with minimal water content.

As an option Desmi Skimmers can be fitted with selective recovery units such as a Disk, Belt, and Brush cassette. These cassettes enhance recovery capabilities of the weir and with the internal Desmi pump allows the skimmed product to be delivered over a significant distance to storage.

The Mini-Max is a lightweight floating weir skimmer head with recovery rates to 30m3/hr, designed for inshore, inland, and industrial applications. It can be coupled to suitable suction pumps or to a vacuum system such as the Ro-Vac.

The Terrapin is a lightweight self adjusting weir oil skimmer ideal for installation in industrial separators, wells, tanks, and sumps, with recovery to 10m3/hr.

There is also a range of well proven oleophilic mop skimmers; versions are available to suit industrial, inland and marine applications. Will recover a wide range of oil types and viscosities from kerosene to emulsified crudes and oily wastes, with very low free water content. Available with diesel, hydraulic, electric or air drive motors, from 1.5 to 18m3/hr.
