Oil Recovery Bucket (LRB)
The Oil Recovery Bucket, based on the proven stiff-brush wheel technology, offers the highest possible performance and safety levels for shoreline, on-land, offshore and arctic oil spill recovery operations. The LRB separates oils, emulsions and oily debris from sea water or soils. Recovered oil contains less than 5% free water. It operates most effectively when stationary skimming deployed from a dredging machine, excavator, or vessel crane.
The LRB combines the efficient cleaning of the brush wheel skimmer with the powerful scraping and digging function of an excavator scoop enhanced by the proven pumping performance of a positive displacement GT A Archimedes screw type pump.
The LRB system is unaffected by any floating debris normally found in an oil slick. By lifting up the brush wheel hydraulically, the bucket can be used to scoop and dump heavy oil sludge and solid materials and e.g. ice flakes in offshore operations.
Usage Areas
Preferred package solution
The LRB operates most effectively when stationary skimming is deployed from a dredging machine, excavator, or vessel crane, since no additional power source is needed. The recommended oil transfer pump is the Lamor GTA 50, a multi-purpose submersible Archimedes screw pump with a pumping capacity of 50m³/h. This pump has been designed for use on 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 special internal geometry of the Lamor GTA design ensures a gentle pumping action that will not emulsify oily water, and ensures the efficient movement of material through the unit. The pump can also handle solids up to 30mm in diameter and should the pump become clogged, it can be reversed to expel the blockage. The GTA pump range has been extensively field-tested and has received accreditation from Bureau Veritas certifying their recovery capacities in oils of varying viscosities.
