Arctic Skimmer (LAS)

The Lamor Arctic Skimmer (LAS) is a special purpose oil recovery system designed for operation in extreme cold and broken ice conditions. The LAS is normally deployed by a crane or davit but can be also used as free floating skimmer utilizing the optional floats when required.

The LAS incorporates static ice deflection pipes and rotating brush wheels for oil separation and collection. The two brush wheels collect and separate the oil from the water, any encountered ice pieces are crushed by the ice crushing screws inside the hopper and these screws also feed the oil to the efficient built-in Lamor GTA Positive Displacement Archimedes Screw type oil transfer pump. The LAS is equipped with a warm water heating system to improve recovery in arctic conditions.

The Lamor LAS represents a technical breakthrough in the development of equipment for use in Arctic conditions and provides an efficient and practical solution to recovery in arctic conditions.

Usage Areas

Preferred package solution

The preferred package for the most efficient operation of a Lamor Arctic skimmer LAS 125 comprises of a Lamor GTA 115 oil transfer pump and a Lamor Power Pack LPP 77. Oil transfer and hydraulic hoses can be supplied in variable lengths,..

The Lamor GTA 115 pump is a multi-purpose submersible Archimedes screw pump with a pumping capacity of 115 m³/h. This pump has been designed for use in skimmers and transfer or offloading pump applications and is able to pump a wide range of liquids ranging from water to the heaviest debris-laden viscous oils. The Lamor GTA 115 pump can deliver a maximum of 12 bar outlet pressure and benefits from water/steam annular injection on the inlet as standard and debris cutting knife to handle solids such as seaweed, plastics and ropes.

The Lamor Power Pack LPP 77 D is powered by a 6 cylinder air cooled Deutz 77 kW diesel engine and serves as a multipurpose power pack designed for the flexible operation of many types of hydraulically operated oil spill clean-up equipment. Equipped with 3 hydraulic circuits the Lamor LPP 77 D can be used to power multiple equipment e.g. skimmer system and boom winder consecutively.
