Oil skimming is particularly effective on medium weight oils such as lube oils and motor oils because the oil separates from water and its viscosity makes it easy to handle. The Medium Viscosity Oil Groundwater Remediation System fits existing monitoring or remediation wells. These oil skimmer Groundwater Remediation Systems include a PetroXtractor belt oil skimmer and an oil transfer package. The key components of the PetroXtractor oil skimmer are an oleophilic belt, motor, belt wipers and discharge trough. The oil transfer package includes a pump, electric controls, and oil-collection/transfer tank. Designed for long-term outdoor use, the system can also be used in underground vaults.
