Description

The Transrec 350 is a high capacity skimming system designed to handle most oils and recovery conditions. MSRC's Oil Spill Response Vessels (OSRV's) were designed with the Transrec 350 positioned aft on the starboard quarter for maximum skimming efficiency when used in conjunction with the FIOCS 800 Norwegian Oil Trawl. The Transrec system consists of a skimming head, a telescoping crane, and a hose reel. The skimming head is connected to the hose reel through a hose trunk that contains both the hydraulic and discharge hoses. Three types of skimmer heads are available to be used with the Transrec 350; a weir lip, a disc, and a belt skimming head.

Handling/Operation

Because the skimmer is permanently mounted on board the OSRV's, this skimmer will only be used in areas where the OSRV can operate. The skimmer's hydraulic power is supplied by the OSRV's central hydraulic system. It will require at least two men for skimming operations, one equipment operator and one tankerman to monitor tank levels and operate the oily water separator. Transfer operations may require a third man to be present. During Transrec operations the skimmer will discharge to the OSRV's storage tanks.
