Easy Installation
Installation and adjustment takes only minutes. Bolt the base to a flat surface, tank, channel or any of the
mounting stands. Connect to the discharge fitting and slip the belt over the drive pulley. Plug a unit in, take a turn or two on the adjustment nut to adjust belt tracking, and installation is complete.
Minimal Maintenance
Lift-off cover exposes entire mechanism for inspection and service. Changing or adjusting belt or wiper blades requires no disassembly, and can be accomplished in minutes. The sealed gear motor requires no maintenance.
The Abanaki Oil Concentrator provides
virtually complete oil/water separation for recycling or
disposal of either liquid.
Under most
operating conditions, Abanaki skimmers pick up oil with only
small traces of water. However, as surface oil is reduced to a
thin layer (1/16 inch thick or less), more water (or
coolant) may be picked up along with the oil. When used in
tandem with an oil skimmer, the Oil Concentrator solves this
problem by providing final phase separation. The result is water
(or coolant) available for recycling, and virtually water-free
oil for disposal.
The Oil
Concentrator is non-electrical and contains no moving parts - it
simply receives liquid directly from the skimmer. Based on the
principle of gravity separation, the Concentrator tank is sized
so that there is adequate dwell time for the oil and water to
separate. Water discharge is through a tube that has an open end
near the bottom of the Concentrator, while oil flow is through a
separate drain port near the top. As additional liquid enters
the Concentrator, water and oil are forced out through their
respective discharge tubes and ports. A sludge screen provides
additional dwell time for separation while preventing debris
from contaminating either the water or the oil.
Installed
at the discharge end of the oil skimmer, the Concentrator comes
complete with mounting bracket, removable sludge screen and
drain plug for easy cleaning. An optional thermostatically
controlled heater is available for use with thick oils, or when
the application is in freezing temperatures. (A heater should not
be used in environments where explosive fumes might be
present.)
