Vikoma International Ltd., an oil pollution and environmental technology firm that is part of Energy Environmental Group, launched the OPRS 300 oil pollution recovery system last month.
The OPRS 300’s patented discs attract oil, collecting up to 300cu m/hr of oil, including oils with viscosities ranging from 1 to 1 million cSt. OPRS 300 comprises a floating skimmer head, which utilizes Vikoma’s tufted discs combined with both an on-board recovered oil discharge pump and thrusters. The unit is operable by a hand-held remote control console.
