As you can easily guess from the names of the units, their main function is to collect oil (including various petroleum products). Collection occurs from the water surface. The advantage of oil skimmers is their high efficiency. They do not lose their performance in the presence of currents and waves. Such units are also used to eliminate emergency oil spills.. In demand today threshold oil skimmer. Its peculiarity is the presence of floats. What are they needed for? Thus, without much effort it is possible to establish the desired oil layer range, which the, actually, going with this car.
Speaking about such a unit, it is impossible not to note the threshold, which is self-adjusting (That’s why the oil skimmer is called “threshold”). The advantage of the design feature comes down to one thing - the most accurate and error-free adjustment of the thickness of the oil layer, who is going.
As noted above, waves do not interfere with the unit. And all thanks to the “wave calmers”. Although they do not completely eliminate level fluctuations before the threshold, but they are still significantly reduced. Therefore, very little water is captured, what is acceptable. There is definitely no talk of a serious loss of efficiency due to waves..
