The Model 5H is designed for installations where the skimmer can be mounted close to the liquid surface and where reliable unattended oil removal is required.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nBrill® tube oil skimmers operate using a continuous loop collector tube that floats freely across the liquid surface. Oil naturally adheres to the outside of the tube and is transported into the skimmer housing where scraper blades remove the oil and direct it into a collection container.\n\nBecause the tube floats freely on the surface, the skimmer automatically follows fluctuating liquid levels and can move around floating debris while continuing to collect oil. The Model 5H is a horizontal tube skimmer designed for installations where the skimmer can remain within 3 feet of the skimming area. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOil removal capacity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe oil removal capacity of a tube oil skimmer depends on several operating factors including oil viscosity, oil layer thickness, temperature and system configuration.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eModel 5H Brill® tube oil skimmer\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed for medium sized tanks and can remove:\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eup to 60 gallons of oil per hour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eapproximately \u003cstrong\u003eup to 227 litres per hour\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nActual oil recovery may vary depending on operating conditions, oil type and collector tube length. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOperating principle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nThe collector tube floats freely on the liquid surface and is slowly driven by the skimmer motor.\n\nOil adheres to the outside of the tube while water is largely rejected. As the tube enters the skimmer housing, scraper blades remove the oil from the tube surface and direct it into the discharge outlet.\n\nThe cleaned tube then returns to the tank surface where the skimming cycle continues.\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nTypical construction materials include:\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable cast housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic drive wheel fingers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic scrapers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic pressure block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollector tube in standard or high temperature material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\nThe collector tube material should be selected based on the operating liquid temperature. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailable micron ratings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nOil skimmers do not operate based on filtration micron ratings.\n\nInstead, separation occurs because oil adheres naturally to the surface of the collector tube while water is rejected. This allows selective removal of floating oils, fats, grease and oily waste from the liquid surface.\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nTypical system characteristics include:\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree-floating collector tube design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorizontal tube skimming arrangement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous oil removal operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact design for tight spaces and congested plant areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow maintenance mechanical design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting kit and oil collection pan included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\nThe Model 5H is also available with frame mounted, cart mounted or tank mounted skimming systems depending on the installation requirements.
