Operation

The rotating drum is covered of an oléophilic/hydrophobic coating.

This continuously rotating device, on the water surface, collects hydrocarbons without being wet. The hydrocarbons are then recovered by a fixed scraper and are poured gravitationally by a gutter in a capacity.

The oleophilic drum is certified ATEX II 2 G c IIB T4 by LCIE.

1.Oleophilic drum Industry model     : Deoiling of décantation basins, constant level.

2.Oleophilic drum Refinery model    : Designed to equip predeoilers and API separator .

3.Oleophilic drum  interventionary model    : Designed to be used on water expanses.

4.Oleophilic drum  Floating model    : Usually held in a variable level basin.

5.Oleophilic drum TO industry model : Used on washing machines and industrial liquids

Characteristics

The originality of this process is that the water content of recovered oil, remains weak, making useless the dehydration by heating or centrifugation.

The quantity of recovered hydrocarbon depends of the cylinder revolutions number as well as nature of oil; on average with 10rd/min, the system recovers 300 l/h/ml of drum. The length and the number of cylinder are  function of  the basin size.
