Rapid Response Skimmer to Clean Up Oil10/05/2010 |
|||||
| Kvichak Marine Industries recently delivered a 30' Rapid Response Skimmer to Environmental Safety & Health (ES&H) in Houma, LA. This new skimmer will join their existing fleet of Kvichak skimmers currently involved in the oil spill clean up effort in the Gulf of Mexico. | |||||
 The rapid-response, shallow-water vessel is ideally suited for use on oil spills in waterways, bays, and harbours. The all-aluminum skimmer is 30' - 3" long, with a beam of 8' - 0", and a draft of 2' - 6" and is easily trailerable.
Adaptable to a variety of marine spill scenarios, this highly specialised vessel works well in many recovery configurations, from free skimming through towed-boom applications, and is able to recover a very wide range of spills from light sheens to very viscous weathered oil products. The skimmer's oil recovery system includes a KVICHAK/MARCO Cl-1 Filterbelt oil skimming module, a KVICHAK/MARCO U-040 Capsulpump offload system with 50' hose, and a recovered oil capacity of 1000 gallons. The recovered oil tank configuration allows segregation of small volume spills to simplify post-spill decontamination. Onboard hydraulic power is supplied by an under-deck diesel HPU.
