This configuration allows rapid installation and reliable unattended oil removal.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nThe ORTS® system combines proven tube oil skimmer technology with an integrated oil storage and transfer solution. A tube oil skimmer removes floating oil from the liquid surface and directs the recovered oil into a storage tank equipped with a decanter to separate residual water.\n\nA transfer pump then moves the recovered oil to a remote tank, drum or disposal system.\n\nThe complete system is delivered pre-assembled and pre-wired to simplify installation and commissioning. The modular configuration allows customization for different tank sizes, recovery rates and installation environments.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOil removal capacity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe ORTS® system is designed for continuous industrial oil recovery and is available in multiple configurations depending on the skimmer model and system design.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil removal capacity: \u003cstrong\u003e4 – 200 gallons per hour\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent flow rate: \u003cstrong\u003e15 – 757 litres per hour\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nActual oil recovery depends on the selected skimmer model, oil type, oil thickness and system configuration.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOperating principle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nThe oil skimmer continuously removes floating oil from the liquid surface using a free-floating collector tube.\n\nOil adheres to the tube surface and is transported into the skimmer housing where scraper blades remove the oil and direct it into a collection tank.\n\nInside the ORTS® system the recovered liquid enters a decanter tank where residual water separates from the oil. The recovered oil is then transferred via pump to a remote collection point such as a drum, storage tank or disposal container.\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial

micron ratings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nOil skimming systems do not operate using filtration micron ratings.\n\nInstead, separation occurs through selective adhesion of oil to the collector tube surface
