Drum, grooved disc, weir, belt, brush and suction oil skimmers for inland, coastal, offshore and industrial oil recovery.

Description

Elastec builds a full range of oil spill skimmers for inland, coastal and offshore recovery, as well as industrial oil skimmers. The company was founded in 1990 on its invention of an efficient drum oil skimmer, and its patented Grooved Disc technology won the 2011 Wendy Schmidt Oil Cleanup X CHALLENGE.

Key features

  • Drum, grooved disc, weir, filterbelt, brush drum and suction (ShovelHead) skimmers, plus multi-skimmer packages and an RC skimmer
  • Drum and disc skimmers use oleophilic (oil-attracting) material, so they recover a high concentration of oil with very little water
  • Elastec states selective skimmers can pick up as little as 2% water, compared with about 50% for weir or suction skimmers
  • Built in ISO 9001 certified facilities in Carmi, Illinois
  • Performance-tested at Ohmsett under ASTM F2709

Applications

Oil recovery during inland, coastal and offshore spill response, and oil removal in industrial settings.
