What are skimming pumps used for?

Skimming pumps are used to remove the top layer of liquids that contain floating materials which have a low density such as oil, fuel, or scum from water treatment processes. This process is essential in environmental cleanup, wastewater treatment, and industrial processes to separate contaminants from water.

What types of pumps are suitable for skimming?

Suitable pumps include peristaltic and AODD (air-operated double diaphragm) pumps. These pumps are designed to handle mixtures of liquids and solids, can run dry and ensure efficient skimming and transfer.

Which industries use skimming pumps?

Industries such as environmental services, wastewater treatment, and oil spill response use skimming pumps to manage and separate contaminants from water surfaces.

How do I choose the right skimming pump?

Consider factors such as the type of contaminant, required flow rate, distance pumped and operating conditions. Consulting North Ridge Pumps ensures expert advice tailored to your specific skimming needs, ensuring optimal pump selection.

Skimming Pumps for Separating Mixed Liquids

Skimming pumps are used to remove the top layer of mixed fluids that naturally separate when stored in tanks, as the result of differences in gravity and density. This is commonly seen when oil or fuel floats on top of water, or when scum forms on the surface of primary effluent tanks. The skimming process involves removing the top layer of these mixtures so that it can be processed further.

For example, after an oil spill, a skimming pump can effectively remove the oil floating on water. However, during this process, some water may also be removed, so the mixture must be processed through a separator to clean and separate the fluids. Skimming pumps are vital for efficient fluid recovery and processing in industries such as wastewater treatment and oil spill management.
