Stiff Sweep Arm

“Ideal for a firm sweep, in light to moderate seas, for fast recovery of spill oil off the surface”

How it works

The forward motion of the vessel deflects surface water and oil from the collection area formed by the sweeping arm into the recovery process in the apex formed by the sweeping arm and vessel hull. The flow leads the oil to the collection module which is equipped either by LAMOR brush pack skimmer or a weir type skimmer and the oil transfer pump. The superior advantage of the brush assisted stiff sweep system is that the brush conveyor separates the oil from the flow and compared to the traditional weir type stiff sweep arrangement, which typically collects more than 50 % water, the free water content with the brush conveyor can be limited to less than 10 %. The conveyor belt is mounted in the apex of the Lamor Stiff Sweep arm LSS. With the LAMOR Stiff sweep arm deployed, the entire vessel becomes an "oil slick processing system".
