Oil Skimmers - BG34 “Lucy” Skimming System

The Model BG34 Oil Skimming System is designed to remove free-floating oils, fats, grease and other material from the surface of water in indoor and outdoor applications. Typical applications include “tramp oil”removal from central coolant systems, waste water treatment oil/water equalization tanks, outdoor oil/water separators, settling and cooling ponds and hundreds of other applications.

How The Skimmer Works: The Model BG34 Oil Skimmer uses a specially formulated ¾” diameter collector tube (TigerTube®) that is sized in length for the application and welded into a continuous loop. The ¾” TigerTube® collector tube floats on the surface of water and is driven in a continuous loop by the skimmer. Oils, fats, and grease cling to the outside surface of the TigerTube® and are drawn into the skimmer. The material drawn into the skimmer is scraped off the TigerTube® by abrasive resistant scrapers (Dureon® scrapers) and flows into a sludge pan with drain coupling. The clean side of the TigerTube® collector tube is then driven back to the surface of the water by the skimmer to remove more material.

Typical Removal Rates:
• Light Oils & Grease - 14 GPH
• Medium Oils & Grease - 34 GPH
• Heavy Oils & Grease - 80 GPH
