Free Floating Offshore Skimmer (LFF 400)
The Lamor Free Floating Offshore Skimmer LFF 400 is a very high capacity free-floating skimmer designed for open ocean oil recovery operations. The main advantage of the LFF 400 is its ability to be remotely operated in offshore deployments.
The LFF 400 is designed for deployment from a vessel into an area where oil has been contained and is fitted with two hydraulic thrusters, allowing the operator to maneuver the system to where oil is most heavily concentrated. The radio remote control system, which is included as standard to the skimmer system, can operate the skimmer functions from a distance of up to 200m.
Oil adheres to the rotating brush wheels, and is separated and cleaned from the brushes into a collection sump. Oil collected in the sump is off-loaded by a powerful Lamor GTA pump and transferred via the supplied floating hose.
The LFF 400 brush wheels collect all types of oil, including diesel, fresh crude, high viscosity bunker oil and emulsions, while collecting almost no free water.
