Product description
The ESS® Enclosed Skimming System is a fully enclosed oil skimming solution designed for applications where vapour containment, environmental protection or equipment protection is required. The system houses the oil skimmer and decanter inside a sealed enclosure to prevent vapours, fumes or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from escaping into the surrounding environment.Technical overview
The ESS® system integrates a tube oil skimmer and oil-water decanter inside a sealed housing. The enclosure protects the equipment from weather, contamination and tampering while also containing vapours generated during the oil recovery process. The system is commonly installed on tanks, pits or manways where oil removal must occur in enclosed environments.Operating principle
Inside the enclosure a tube oil skimmer continuously removes floating oil from the liquid surface. The recovered oil enters an internal decanter where residual water separates from the oil before the recovered oil is discharged to a collection system. The sealed enclosure prevents vapours or fumes from escaping while still allowing inspection and maintenance access.Material options
Typical enclosure materials include:- Carbon steel enclosure
- Stainless steel enclosure
- Aluminium enclosure
- Fiberglass enclosure
Available micron ratings
The ESS® system does not rely on filtration micron ratings. Oil separation occurs through tube oil skimming and gravity separation within the decanter.Design and construction
