Description

The Seawoolf is a low capacity skimmer that is used primarily to recover debris laden oil. It is capable of skimming very heavy oil, including oil that is emulsified or "weathered." The unit draws surface floating oil, tar, and contaminated debris into a clamshell type bucket through two double vertical disk banks. A Desmi DOP-250 Pump with a weir lip inside the bucket provide normal skimming capability. When the debris inside the bucket builds up, the unit is hoisted from the water and the clamshell dumps the debris into an open barge alongside the vessel or operating platform.

Handling/Operation

The Seawoolf is a relatively large, heavy skimmer that will require an on board crane capable of hoisting the skimmer full of oil laden debris, and spotting the unit over a collection barge alongside to dump the clamshell. The skimmer is usually used late in the spill clean up when viscous, emulsified, and debris laden oil cannot be recovered with conventional skimming systems.
