Free Floating Skimmer (LFF 100)
The Lamor Free Floating Offshore (LFF 100) skimmer is a very high capacity free-floating skimmer designed for open ocean oil recovery operations. The LFF 100 is fitted with two V-chain pocket brush type conveyors for efficient collection of all types of floating oil from light to viscous oils and emulsions. Each brush chain conveyor consists of four brush chains.
Recovered oil is offloaded by an optional high volume Positive Displacement Archimedes Screw type pump with capacity of 115 or 140 m³/hr with more than 500.000 cSt oil. Tested and certified skimming capacity for 1 mill. cSt bitumen is 102,6 m³/h and for IFO 40 intermediate fuel oil 111 m³/h (BV HSK4070026).
The skimmer is hydraulically operated and fitted with two thrusters to allow the operator to maneuver the skimmer to where oil is most heavily concentrated.
Usage Areas
Preferred package solution
Instead of using a separate crane for skimmer deployment, the Umbilical Hose Reel can be equipped with a telescopic crane arm that can be operated by one person. The telescopic crane arm is constructed in accordance with NOFO standards and moreover, can be deployed even from below deck through the side hatch. When the whole unit is built on an optional 20´ flat rack with turntable, the hose reel can be rotated 360°.
Alternatively, the skimmer can be used with an umbilical hose that is mounted on a hydraulically driven deployment, retrieval, and storage reel with built-in, 360° rotation driven with hydraulic motor with integral brake. The oil transfer and hydraulic hoses are connected to the manifold at the hub of the reel with pump-through swivel joints to allow the hoses to be energized continuously and at any deployed length.
The Lamor GTA 115, a multi-purpose submersible Archimedes screw pump with a pumping capacity of 115 m³/h, is the recommended oil transfer pump. This pump has been designed for use in skimmers and transfer or off-loading 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 109 D is the preferred power generator. It is powered by a 4 cylinder water cooled Deutz 109 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. The Lamor LPP 109 D is containerized within a steel frame designed to ensure a good circulation for the air cooled diesel engine. Equipped with 2x3 hydraulic circuits, the Lamor LPP 109 D can be used to power multiple equipment e.g. skimmer system and boom winder consecutively.
