FOG Skimmers Explained

The OPEC skimmer is used for primary water treatment to remove fog from sumps, drains, balance tanks and other settlement tanks prior to any further water treatment processes. The OPEC mop collects the fats, oils and grease (fog). After it is lifted up into the skimmer it is squeezed off into a separator tank. This then decants excess water back to the sump. A top scraper removes the surface fog on the separator and pushes it over a chute. Depending on the positioning of the container this can then be fed into a large tank, IBC, DOLAV, or drum to dispose of the fog.

Depending on the level of contamination and type of fog you have, in some instances the machinery may also require heat and/or water to wash with nozzles to keep it free of large debris. You may also need to add in other equipment such as screens, chemical treatment tanks, ph correction.

It is designed to operate 24/7.

In many cases we manufacture to order with bespoke accessories to suit the clients needs such as bunded collection tanks, mounting frame work, electrical control gear (panels, sensors etc).
