Skimmer Enclosure Contains Vapors  

The Oil Skimmers (USA) unique Vapor Hood is the only system where oil must be removed from tanks and sumps that also contain volatile organic compounds (VOC’s). The Oil Skimmers Vapor Hood is designed so that the electric motor that drives the Model 6V Brill™ oil skimmer is protected from the skimming area, while the gasketed enclosure prevents volatile organic compounds from escaping into the atmosphere. A built-in decanter provides water-free oil skimming, and there is access through the hood for inspection and maintenance of the skimmer unit. The Vapor Hood, manufactured by Oil Skimmers, Inc., is used in conjunction with the company’s Model 6V Brill™ oil skimmer in tanks and sumps both in hostile and toxic oil skimming environments, and in less hazardous areas where an enclosed skimming unit is wanted, such as a high-traffic factory or in severe weather conditions.

The Oil Skimmers Vapor Hood offers many benefits for the industrial oil skimming application, such as:
Enables skimming where VOCs and Odors are present; Easy Economical Installation; Provides total protection from the elements; Completely enclosed for a clean and safe operation; Operation and all components easily visible and accessible; Rugged durable construction; Built in Decanting System.

The flexibility of this system is even more enhanced by the ability of Oil Skimmers to customize this equipment to fit your needs. This includes the dimensions, adapter plate, material of construction, motor voltage, discharge, etc.
