Why Choose Baldwin Skim-Pak Floating Oil Skimmers?

We are proud to say that we are the sole manufacturers and distributors of this innovative product in Australia and South East Asia.

Baldwin Skim-Pak Floating Oil Skimmers use a patented flow control weir to determine the depth of cut that is skimmed, deeming them the most efficient skimmers on the market for removing any floating contaminants.

Unlike belt and tube skimmers which are limited to removing oil that has come in direct contact with the “oleophilic” component, the Skim-Pak Flow Control Weir in our skimmer functions as a non-selective oil skimmer due to its 360º degree skimming action, drawing the surface water towards it.

The skimmer automatically adjusts the weir with any changes in pump flow rate, conveniently maintaining the surface skim. Our floating weir oil skimmers are powerful supernatant removers, perfect for sequencing batch reactors and flocculent tanks.

Floating oil skimmer units can be used as a part of a total treatment system that can involve other systems such as our clarifiers, dissolved air wastewater treatment systems, coalescing plate separators or industrial water filtration systems.

How does a floating oil skimmer work?

Oil skimmers remove contaminants such as grease and oil from wastewater while allowing accumulated wastes to be placed into separate oil containers.

How does a floating oil/water separator decanting system work?

For the most efficient method of extracting oil from wastewater, decanters are combined with oil skimmers. Decanters provide more efficiency as they separate oil from water while bringing water back to the skimming region, and in turn, all retained oil has minimal traces of water.

Gravity plays a significant part in the operation of a decanter, as lighter oils easily separate and rise higher than heavier ones. It’s also worth noting the importance of an oil weir in this process, as it allows all extracted oils to overspill at higher levels. On the other hand, decanting will include water being released at lower levels.
