Belt Skimmer
VJ Engineering is the Authorized Agent of DESMI-Denmark, for the country of Malaysia & Singapore.
Recovery of Highly Viscous Oils
Recovering highly viscous oils at sea has long been a challenge during major oil spills. To meet this need, DESMI has developed the BELT Skimmer – a specialized attachment for the TERMINATOR Skimmer designed specifically for handling thick, heavy oils.
Efficient Oil Recovery
-
The BELT Skimmer operates in bi-directional mode, allowing it to adapt to different oil types.
-
Oil is drawn in and discharged into the hopper, where a vertical screw pump efficiently transfers it onward.
-
The pump is designed to avoid emulsification, ensuring that oil and water can be quickly separated before storage.
Enhanced Pumping Capabilities
-
Annular water injection system reduces pressure loss in the discharge hose, enabling the smooth pumping of extremely viscous oils.
-
Water injection (hot or cold) can be applied at either the pump inlet or outlet.
Advanced Features & Options
-
Fitted with teeth to pull in heavy oil layers effectively.
-
Optional remote control and thrusters for precise skimmer positioning.
-
Available with a range of custom configurations to meet operational needs.
Versatile Solutions
-
For heavy oils, the BELT Skimmer’s teeth provide strong grip and recovery efficiency.
-
For a wider range of oil types, the ALLIGATOR Skimmer – equipped with stiff bristles on the belt – offers additional versatility.
