“Our ability to design, build and ship 23 custom oil skimmers halfway around the word in just 120 days was a record for our company – and vital to the customer,” said President Mike Gaudiani, Oil Skimmers, Inc. “It was a challenge happily accepted and met.” 

Customization

Our engineering and operations teams worked together to develop the custom Model 6V oil skimmers and meet the rigorous design requirements the customer outlined. Each skimmer features a floating collector tube designed to continuously remove oil from wastewater to help ensure that wastewater potentially discharged from the customer’s gas production equipment is kept free of waste oil. Our solutions are custom engineered to meet any facility’s needs. From the basic to the complex, we have developed complete waste oil recovery solutions for facilities both large and small that are easy, efficient, maintenance-free and effective.

“We provided a creative solution to help the power plant better manage plant maintenance while meeting environmental objectives with the highest reliability at a competitive price,” said Gaudiani.
