Disc oil skimmer JDS5

river

The disc skimmer is a lightweight, efficient device for recovering oil spills on the water surface. It consists of an oil skimmer that floats on the water’s surface, a power station placed on the shore or a boat, and a pipeline connecting the two. It has been widely used in pools, harbors, wharves, river oil spill recovery, and industrial oily wastewater treatment. The disc skimmer is a mechanical surface oil recovery device. It employs vertically arranged, partially submerged rotating discs to adhere oil from the water surface. The adhered oil is then scraped off by blades installed above the discs and directed into a collection tank. Subsequently, the recovered oil is pumped out for storage or disposal, achieving the purpose of oil recovery. Performance Characteristics of Jerryborg JDS5 Disc Skimmer 1. The rotating disc skimmer is capable of recovering free-flowing oils, particularly suitable for moderate-to low-viscosity oils. 2. The recovered oil from the rotating disc skimmer exhibits minimal free water content. Under optimized conditions of disc rotation speed, oil film thickness, oil viscosity, and hydrometeorological parameters, the free water content can be reduced to as low as 3%, a performance benchmark unattainable by most conventional skimmers. 3. The rotating disc skimmer features a compact structure, small footprint, and lightweight design. The skimming head can be manually transported to deployment sites, while the power unit is mounted on a four-wheel cart for enhanced mobility. 4. Model JDS5, a compact rotating disc skimmer, is specifically engineered for oil recovery operations in rivers, lakes, docks,
