Inadequate oil removal equipment could be costing your
manufacturing company money.
In this post, we discuss how tube type oil skimmers—those that use a closed-loop tube on the water’s surface to attract floating oil or grease—can save you money compared to alternatives.

In just about every industrial process on earth, whether
it’s making
steel or cosmetics, food
processing, mining, railroads, or
construction, water plays an important role in a company’s operations.
Similarly, in most, if not all of those same industries, oil
plays some kind of role. It may be lubrication oil, fuel oil, or the process itself may consume or
produce oil—such as in chemical Topics:

Whether you’re part of a small team or working for a large
organization, there are always ways to fine-tune your internal manufacturing processes—sometimes with very
little investment.
One of these investments is oil skimming. With one new solution, your team could see improved asset performance, less downtime, and ultimately, advanced efficiency.
In this post, we look at five ways environmental and process engineers can increase efficiency from start to finish—primarily with oil skimming.

Wastewater treatment is a major challenge for organizations
across a variety of industries. To better understand why this is the case, consider the following scenario.
A privately held potato chip plant hoped to increase its snack production by 20% to roughly 72 million pounds a year. However, the plant faced a major obstacle to achieving this goal: While cleaning the fryers throughout production, large amounts of oil mix with wash water.
Not to mention the plant discharges...

Excess oil in manufacturing processes can have detrimental
effects to overall operations, as it:
- Shortens the life of machining coolant
- Can result in costly equipment malfunctions and maintenance
- Can affect the quality of finished parts
Fortunately, there is a solution.
Oil skimming can save manufacturers thousands of dollars in maintenance issues and ensure that finished products are the best quality possible.
