In addition to our custom fabricated hoses, SkimOIL  also provides hose floats as well as custom manifolds and flotation.



​Industrial Pumps

​In the oil skimmer and oily water separator business pumps are used a lot. Regular pumps can sometimes work  but we’ve found that with oil skimmers especially there’s ALWAYS a lot of junk in the oil that can screw up a regular off-the-shelf pump. Trash happens, always! And is usually found in oil needing to be skimmed. Choose from AOD Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps, Electric Diaphragm Pump or Heavy Duty Submersible Sump Pumps.   See also our OilSmart Sump Pump switch that can operate any pump up to 1HP at 110V and prevent you from pumping oil into the environment.


Containment Boom and Systems

Floating containment boom is manufactured from a variety of extremely durable, flexible thermoplastic fabrics. These fabrics are dielectrically sealed to form enclosures for flotation logs and for the galvanized chain ballast that also serves as a tension member. A skirt that extends below the surface of the water provides a flexible floating barrier. ​cover everything from small bodies of water where no prevailing winds or currents will prevent removal, to large lakes, bays, or harbors, where winds create significant waves, and where there are currents and tidal flows.
