How are pneumatically driven oil skimmers essential?


1. They are Driven by air - meaning no electricity and hydraulic oil involved. This eliminates chances of fire accidents in locations like refineries, thermal power plants, nuclear power plants.

2. Very less maintenance involved when compared to Hydraulically driven Oil skimmers where oil needs to be changed periodically.

3. Negligible increase in CAPEX cost when the distance of operation from shore need to be increased.

4. Very minimum power consumption (OPEX) when compared to Electrically driven and Hydraulically driven skimmers.

5. Importantly, Vens Hydrolufts' Drum Oil skimmers are approved by all of India's leading Oil and Gas manufacturing industry's top players.



The oil sticks to the rotating drum driven by air motor with gearbox.  Then it is wiped by wipers and passes to the Skimmer oil collection area.  From there, the oil is sucked and pumped to the external oil collection tank by AODD pump.
