Overview

ACME offers oleophilic Mop Oil Skimmers, a highly effective and globally recognized solution for retrieving floating hydrocarbons in various spill response and water treatment scenarios. Each mop skimmer operates by continuously rotating an oleophilic mop across the water’s surface, utilizing a floating or stationary pulley system. As the mop glides along, it collects oil, which is then passed through squeeze rollers to efficiently extract and recover the hydrocarbons. Whether handling refinery wastewater or tackling cleanup operations in remote Arctic locations, ACME’s Mop Oil Skimmers have proven their reliability worldwide. Let us customize a solution that fits your specific needs.

Applications

Accidental Spill Recovery

• ACME Mop Oil Skimmers are ideal for fast, reliable recovery of hydrocarbons during emergency spills in industrial or field settings. They minimize environmental impact while maximizing oil recovery, even in high oil-water ratio conditions.

Industrial Water Treatment

• These systems are well-suited for use in treatment facilities where ongoing oil removal is required. Their efficient design and automatic operation options make them valuable tools in maintaining compliance and cleaner discharge levels.

High Oil-Water Ratio Environments

• The oleophilic mop excels in scenarios where oil content is high and traditional skimming methods may falter. The continuous recovery system ensures consistent oil extraction.
