Summary
Industrial companies needing to remove fat, oil, or grease (FOG) from wastewater often choose between vacuum truck services and oil skimmers.
While vac trucks are versatile and suitable for large waste removal, they incur high long-term costs, disrupt operations, and fail to address continuous FOG buildup. In contrast, oil skimmers provide a cost-effective, continuous solution that improves wastewater management and equipment protection, reduces environmental impact, and offers potential revenue through recovered oil.
Case studies highlight significant savings and operational efficiency, such as a food plant saving...

Industrial oil skimming is a proven, efficient, and economical method to remove waste fat, oil, or grease (FOG) from wastewater. Removing waste oil is the first step in the water treatment process before the wastewater can be recycled, discharged, or further treated. The waste oil must first form a distinct layer, or separate from the wastewater, before adding an industrial oil skimmer into the application.
An industrial oil skimmer is a mechanical device generally operated by a pump or motor...

Oil plays a part in just about every industrial process on
earth. While oil can play crucial and beneficial role in industrial operations, it can also cause
many challenges once it has served its purpose and ends up in the wastewater stream.
To increase the efficiency of wastewater treatment processes and maintain environmental compliance, organizations must first remove the oil before repurposing it or the water, before discharging water to the municipality, and before...

Many industrial and manufacturing processes require the use of
coolant.
After all, coolant plays a critical role in both lubrication and temperature regulation. It’s vital in metalworking, machining and many other industrial processes—any that use or create heat.
From cutting, grinding and machining oil-coated metal parts, and because CNC machining centers leak hydraulic oil, coolant quickly picks up tramp oil, particulate matter and other impurities, mandating regular upkeep. Coolant often contains oil as an ingredient,...

Recognizing the limitations of belt skimmers and other oil
removal methods, 50 years ago we invented the “better belt skimmer”, the Brill® tube type oil skimmer.
Choosing Which Belt Skimmers are Best: Traditional vs Better Belt Skimmer
Using the right type of oil skimmer can be just as important as deciding to skim oil in the first place. Whether your business is considering a new skimming solution or has traditional belt skimmers in operation already, it’s important to...
