ORTS Configurations
Standard
Standard ORTS configurations feature an oil collection tank, with the built-in decanter. The oil skimmer is mounted directly above the oil/water decanter portion of the tank. The unit can be placed at the edge of pits, walkways, or platforms so the skimmer’s tube drops straight down to float on the surface of the contaminated water.
Extended Reach
The Extended Reach ORTS features a 6 or 8-foot cantilever mount, or 12, 18, or 24-foot balanced boom mount for applications where the skimmer needs to be extended to skim oil from ponds, pits, or reach out over guard rails. The tank is sized specifically for your application. For applications where a larger storage tank is required, and a skimmer reaches up to 18 feet is needed, the ORTS Extended Reach features a cantilever or balanced boom mounted to a 500-2000 gallon tank.
Mobility
ORTS systems can be mobile. Some systems can be moved by forklift or pallet jack. Other ORTS systems tank can be mounted to a trailer for hauling from one location to another.
