Oil Skimmer

An Abanaki Oil Skimmer provides a simple, dependable and cost effective method for removing oil, grease and other hydrocarbons from water. Often, an oil skimmer alone can create the desired level of water purity without using costly and complicated treatments such as coalescers, membrane filters and chemicals.
