How to Get Oil Off Water—The Basics of Oil Skimming

Here is a short overview of oil skimming and the equipment and a few of the ways to get it done. After all the big oil spill news this year—it seems like a good idea to discuss skimming yet once more!

Most people who use our skimmers are using them for industrial or process applications where oil may be leaked or spilled—but it's usually in contained areas, where they have some control and can keep it from getting off their property.

Who uses skimmers?

American companies who have a lot of oil to spill or leak, must have a registered spill plan (SPCC) with the EPA and USCG.

Our normal customer base for this type of skimming includes refineries, well sites and the petroleum industries, but also included are steel mills, power plants, metal fabricators, chemical plants, wastewater treatment plants but also oddly enough—food oil facilities, cereal manufacturers, and even cardboard manufacturers and coffin makers. There's a lot of oil that has to be cleaned up.

Consider—almost every elevator in the USA has a pit under it to catch any oil that could leak into it. Our Oilsmart switches and Oilsmart alarms keep that oil from being pumped out into the environment. The Clean Water Act makes it illegal to put more than 15 ppm of oil into our waters. Big fine$ await polluters.

American companies who have a lot of oil to spill or leak, must have a registered spill plan (SPCC) with the EPA and USCG. These companies who own or handle the oil usually have an agreement with Oil Spill Response organizations (OSRO's), contractors who have a LOT of trucks and boats stationed all around the country full of spill equipment on standby. These are usually highly trained professional teams—but the brunt of the work is done by the local labor pool with lower cost manual labor, sometimes with minimum OSHA 40-hour training.

People with oil to spill often have their own equipment and trained "First Response Teams," but that's usually just until the (OSRO) spill response contractor gets onsite. Often at a spill scene, the on-site coordinators or "agency overseeing things" sometimes decide they need more of a certain type of floating weir skimmers or floating drum skimmers… WE LIKE THAT, but most of our day to day business is industrial or process type skimming and not needed for SUDDEN SERVICE.

The oil skimmer business on a daily basis is like most others… long moments of daily routine—interrupted by short bursts of chaos and madness.

What's an oil skimmer and how is it different from an oil water separator?

The short version is that oil skimmers are for removing free floating oil from the surface of water, while oil water separators are flow thru devices for removing free and un-emulsified oils from a moving stream of water—sometimes down to a parts per million (ppm) level. Today we're talking oil skimmers and the types available. We have every skimmer technology known to man! We Love Oil!

Ocean Spill response contractor equipment is mostly like our industrial skimmers—just much larger and heavier duty. For skimming at or near shore—the skimmers you'll see here and at www.skimoil.com are the common tools in every spill contractor's arsenal.

 

Selective Floating Skimmers Give You Oil Only!

These skimmers give you as little as 3% water!
Imagine being able to skim 3-4 barrels of oil per minute (100-200 GPM)!

The selective type oil skimmer is always motor driven and operates by introducing to the oil—a surface (metal or plastic) that the oil is highly attracted to and sticks to. This surface, being a belt or mop or tube or drum or disc, is then rotated around (by the motor) to an oil removal spot, and then wiped or wrung or scraped off, allowing the oil to run off by gravity flow to a sump or tank or trough or somewhere else for eventual removal. The water does not like (very much) the plastic or metal rotating element (drum?)—so you don't have to dispose of as much water!

Case in point: our floating drum skimmers (FDS) float on the surface of the water/oil and the drum (air or hydraulic driven) rotates slowly thru the oil, getting covered with oil, then rotating around then scraped off by a "doctor" blade allowing the oil to flow into the sump where it collects—then gets pumped away. Consider this to be a two part operation—skimming and pumping.

Skimming is removing the oil from the surface—and the pumping part moves that oil to storage. If you're skimming, you gotta' keep pumping it off or the floating skimmer will turn into a submarine.

These floating drum skimmers are the most efficient way of moving a LOT of oil FAST—and not give you as much water to deal with. These drum skimmers only need a few inches of water to float in. Even our smallest industrial drum skimmer "The Steelmax" which is only 2.5' x 3.5' can skim an amazing 20 gallons of oil per minute—now you can see why you have to keep pumping it out! Very few people have this much oil to skim.

Floating drum skimmers are available to skim as much as 200 GPM.

Here's a pic of an industrial floating drum skimmer that can skim from 30-60 GPM—and it's only 3' x 5' and can be thrown in the back of a pick-up by just two men. These drum skimmers are so FAST that they are the tool of choice on spills…but the oil has to be touching the drum—not always so easy to do.

Sometimes as you've seen on the news videos—the oil is not a contiguous mass—it's fragmented and broken up by waves and wind action, making the drum skimmer not so effective.

But when it's in oil, a big drum skimmer is an awesome picture—imagine being able to skim 3-4 barrels of oil per minute (100-200 GPM)—without getting much water! It's all a function of the large amount of surface area on the drums—as long as they touch the oil. These are serious skimmers.

NON-Selective Skimming—
Floating Weir Type Surface Skimmers

Now onto the non-selective type skimmers which do give you a lot of water to deal with. These floating weir type skimmers are like a floating vacuum head—creating a low spot on the surface of the oil/water—allowing everything on the surface near it—to run into that floating low spot. Think of it as a stand pipe or floating drain on the surface.

 

The FWS floating weir skimmer attracts and influences the surface all around the skimmer—it's a pure gravity surface skimmer.

The surface of the liquid is going to flow into the mouth or weir and goes down it's drain which is the suction line to a remote pump. Whatever is on the surface (oil/feathers/fish/trash/water) is going to flow into the skimmer sump by the movement of the water or surface flow across the weir. These skimmers don't have any motor driven rotating elements, BUT they do require use of a remote pump or vac truck or other suction source to pump away everything that's running into that floating surface drain. Make no mistake, these will give you a lot of water to deal with if you have little surface oil—but they are FAST and flow rates can range from a few GPM up to hundreds of gallons per minute. Our FWS381 that's 3' x 4' will skim the surface at up to 400 GPM. We can scale that up to 1000 GPM!

In the ideal world, if you had unlimited storage tanks, this would be the best skimmer, but it gives you a lot of water to deal with along with the oil. Getting rid of oily water is tough itself, giving you a whole new problem with disposal and requires an oil water separator (a flow thru device for separating oil from a moving stream of water).

The floating weir skimmers are also used to skim or remove floating stuff other than oil—such as floating fly ash in power plants, floating duck weed in ponds, grass/ plastic pellets and anything else that floats on the surface and that can be influenced by the motion of water moving across the weir. If this floating weir skimmer is sitting in pure oil—you can move huge amounts of oil fast without getting water along with it! Remember this is a surface removal device.

Here are some general application ideas about which skimmer to use where.

 

Floating Oil Skimmers

• Hook a hose to it and get it in the water—hook the other end of the hose to a pump—and now you're ready to start skimming.
• Capable of high recovery rates—usually measured in gallons per minute. These are always used on spills on inland and coastal waters.
• Floating drum skimmers—for removing a lot of oil without water—FAST. Skims fuels, oils and even heavy oils—the toughest and most effective skimmers made. Hydraulic or air powered to drive the motor. Steel mills use these a lot, as do oil well sites and refineries.
• Floating disc skimmers—same as above but somewhat more delicate—probably not so good where it gets moved around a lot. Hydraulic or air powered.
• Floating weir skimmers—real workhorse-type skimmers, the only skimmer that will remove sheen or floating stuff other than oil. Works with any pump that can pull suction—Works great with a vac truck or AOD pumps. These get used everywhere—they are simple, very portable.



Hard-Mounted / Installed Skimmers

• Low recovery rate—usually measured in gallons per hour.
• Belt skimmers: electric, great for reaching down into a pit or well or tank and lifting the oil to the surface. Requires no pump. Usually rather lower recovery rates—low maintenance.
• Rope mop wringer skimmers: have a LOT more surface area than belts; the rope usually looks like a squirrel tail, often used/stretched across a pond or tank, has wringer rollers—won't tolerate high solids content. Electric, air or hydraulic powered. Higher maintenance.
• Tube type skimmers: same idea as above—uses a hose-like tube that dances on the surface to gather oil. Recovery rates to 40 gph. Low maintenance.

From T-Shirts to Tea Cups: A Journey in Custom Printing

Do you remember the days of iron-on T-shirts? I recall the joy my
friends and I would find in the novelty of decorating our own apparel
with iron-on transfers. We paid great attention to detail in the
pictures we colored since, now, they took on greater importance; they
would ultimately become fashion statements. (Of course, we required
adult supervision when using hot irons!) As I learned since this time
in the 80's, many other kids across the country devoted precious
afternoon playtime to creating dream T-shirts.

When affordable personal computers swept the nation, the ability to
transfer faces of loved ones and pets onto sweatshirts enhanced the
appeal of iron-ons for us even more. It's a fair estimate that at
least one person from every family knows someone who received such a
shirt as a gift. (Think of how many times you've encountered a
'Grandma Loves Me' T-shirt.) When local sports teams and youth
leagues wanted affordable, customized uniforms, they frequently
benefited from the iron-on skills of talented, patient volunteers.
Recognizing a legitimate need, custom printing facilities began to
offer select services to individuals, teams, and businesses who wanted
to print on a larger (but still local/affordable) scale. When custom
printing gained popularity in San Diego, I recall the excitement of
seeing my softball team's name embroidered on jackets, shirts, and
various styles of hats. Even our uniforms sported our names.

Now, in 2011, the custom printing craze has evolved far beyond
clothing and uniforms. From pens to coffee mugs, glassware to alarm
clocks, just about every item in your home can be personalized with a
custom print. Some of today's printers use a technique called
'immersion printing' that allows transfers to be made onto
3-dimensional objects. For instance, you can have a print made on
your landline telephone, your stapler, golf club or Billiard Cue.
Moving from the realm of personal amusement to the realm of business,
custom printing has emerged as a dominant form of advertising for
countless companies and service providers. Pens, key chains, sticky
notes and fridge magnets that proudly display the names of their
institutions of origin are subtle-yet-persistent methods of promotion
we encounter on a daily basis in San Diego. Less-subtle (but still
effective) promotional materials are embroidered baseball hats, bumper
stickers, and our old friend, the T-shirt.

Following the trajectory of customization from days spent mastering
the dangerous art of iron-on technique, to today's world of simple and
affordable customizing, we are no longer limited by canvas shape or
size; technology has given us the power to imprint our creations and
slogans on just about any object we desire. Such technology gives us
the ability to become true prosumers--producers and consumers. With
such power in our hands, it's no wonder why customization has swept
the nation; such creative potential is exciting!

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised $11.03 Spanning 1970-1972, this superb collection takes us back to Gil Scott-Heron's early years, when he was working with jazz producer Bob Thiele -- a man who had been in the studio with everyone from John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders to Coleman Hawkins. But The Revolution Will Not Be Televised isn't a jazz collection per se; it's a collection of innovative R&B and spoken poetry that contains jazz influences and finds Scott-Heron employing such jazz musicians as flutist Hubert Laws and bassist Ron Carter. Like the Last Poets, Scott-Heron has been described as "one of the first rappers" -- and while he was hardly the first person to speak in rhyme to music, there are definitely parallels between angry sociopolitical poems like "Whitey on the Moon," "No Knock," and "Brother" and hip-hop commentary from the 1980s. Poetry, however, doesn't dominate this album -- most of the selections illustrate Scott-Heron's excellence as a singer, including "Home Is Where the Hatred Is," "Did You Hear What They Said?," and the poignant "Save the Children." One of the collection's less political tracks is "Lady Day and John Coltrane," an R&B classic that articulates how easily jazz can lift a person's spirits. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised isn't the last word on Scott-Heron's artistry -- he recorded many more treasures after leaving Flying Dutchman for Arista in 1975. But it's one of the collections to acquire if you're exploring his artistry for the first time. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi Performers: Bernard "Pretty" Purdie - Drums; Brian Jackson - Piano; Burt Jones - Guitar; Charles Saunders - Percussion; David Spinozza - Guitar; Eddie Knowles - Flute, Percussion, Sax (Alto); Gerald Jemmott - Bass; Gil Scott-Heron - Guitar, Piano; Hubert Laws - Flute, Sax (Alto);

Break In $3.74 BREAK IN was originally published in 1985, and was the first of two books to feature Kit Fielding, champion steeplechase jockey. Kit goes to the aid of his twin sister whose husband, a racehorse trainer, faces ruin as the result of a spiteful newspaper campaign. Because of his courage, Kit in turn becomes the target.

It is about the day-to-day life of a top-flight horseman for whom race-riding is the most demanding and rewarding love of all.

David Susskind: A Televised Life $10.99 A flamboyant impresario who began his career as an agent, David Susskind helped define a fledgling television industry. He was a provocateur who fought to bring high-toned literary works to TV. His series East Side/West Side and N.Y.P.D. broke the color barrier in casting and brought gritty, urban realism to prime time. He indulged his passion for issues and ideas with his long running discussion program, first called Open End and then The David Susskind Show, where guests could come from The White House one week and a whore house the next. The groundbreaking program made news year in and year out. His legendary live interview with Nikita Khrushchev at the height of the Cold War inflamed both the political and media establishments. Susskind was an enfant terrible whose life -- both on and off the screen -- makes fascinating reading. His rough edges, appetite for women, and scorn for the business side of his profession often left his own career hanging by a thread. Through extensive original reporting and deep access to David SusskindÂ’s personal papers, family members and former associates, Stephen Battaglio creates a vivid portrait of a go-go era in American media. David Susskind is as much a biography of an expansive and glamorous time in the television business as it is the life of one of its most colorful and important players.

The Break-In $10.38 Although radio-friendly singer/songwriter Ari Hest's music (the rhythm, the chords) isn't always particularly distinguishable from similarly emotionally accessible artists -- Matt Nathanson, Josh Kelley, Jason Mraz -- the Bronx native has an important advantage over his peers: he possesses a better-than-average voice, something that can't be faked by ProTools, and something that he accentuates on his second full-length, The Break-In. It seems to have developed tremendously since his first record, Someone to Tell, came out in 2004, and the results are impressive. His range, for example, has expanded, or is at least displayed more prominently here: he moves from the low, sonorous notes on tracks like the opener "When and If" to a convincing falsetto on the title track without ever sounding strained or unnatural. It's a resonant, affecting tenor that blends well not only with itself but also with Hest's acoustic guitar and Mitchell Froom's clean production, and doesn't need to be forced into sounding emotional and honest. And songwise, although Hest sticks to simple, standard progressions and melodies, the way the electric guitar, keyboards, and percussion enter and exit, his allusions to Beach Boys-esque harmonies, the occasional times he slips in an unexpected note, even the crooner-ish jazzy track, "I've Got You," make The Break-In better than your typical sentimental-male pop album. The songs are hooky, of course, but not overly so, and they don't depend on catchiness to carry them. The edgier "Right of Way" plays on lightly distorted electric guitars and driving vocal lines, while "Leaving Her Alone" is gentle and softer and contains one of Hest's best phrases ("Here, here is an empty room/Filled with an empty man"). In fact, it's the lyrics that are the only thing on the album that really fall short, especially in comparison to what he shows he can accomplish in other fields. The rhymes are uncomplicated and sometimes cliché, or at least very ordinary, which contrasts with Hest's strong voice, and keeps The Break-In from reaching past the boundaries of adult alternative and into actual poetic singer/songwriter territory. Still, it's a leap forward for Hest, and promises much more to come. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi

Style Balls

Balls $13.58 After a quick listen to Balls, it's hard to imagine why Warner Brothers dropped Elizabeth Cook after only one album. Could she have sounded too traditional for country radio? Did they want her to tone down her in-your-face delivery? The mysteries of major labels are many and unfathomable, so suffice it to say that Cook is a major talent and will undoubtedly wind up with another major-label deal. Balls has the same power and charm evident on her earlier outings and the bonus of Rodney Crowell's sharp production talents. Every track crackles like a pork fat fueled barbecue fire, full of the spunk and sass that make Cook an artist to watch. "Times Are Tough in Rock 'N Roll" is a sly putdown of the mainstream music industry and a celebration of country roots driven by a traditional track that includes banjo, jew's harp (something you don't hear on many records these days, if ever) and fiddle. When she sings "All my feelings/All my fears/Were confirmed with Britney Spears" you've got to laugh out loud. Cook's been called a cross between Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton, and a tune like "Sometimes It Takes Balls to Be a Woman" tells you that the comparisons aren't mere hyperbole. It's a honky tonk stomp that delineates the problems facing the fairer sex with good humor and sharp observations of the strength it takes to deal with the male ego. "What Do I Do" is Western swing in the style of Merle Haggard, a weeper that finds the singer torn between giving her heart away and walking away from a bad situation. Some nice Roy Nichols-style electric guitar fills add authenticity to the track. Cook's just as commanding on the album's ballads. "Down Girl" is as dark as anything Gillian Welch has written, "Rest Your Weary Mind," a duet with Bobby Bare, Jr., sounds like a hundred-year-old folk lament, while "Mama's Prayers" is a ringer for Parton's homespun Tennessee tales of tribulation. The most surprising track is "Sunday Morning," the Velvet Underground oldie transformed into a mournful ballad given extra melancholy by Matt Combs' fiddle work. Balls is a great album made by people who obviously love the grit and honesty of real music. ~ j. poet, Rovi Performers: Tim Carroll - Juice Harp, Guitar (Electric), Guitar (Acoustic); Greg Davis - Banjo; Matt Combs - Mandolin, Fiddle; Alison Prestwood - Bass; Harry Stinson - Drums; Kenny Vaughan - Guitar (Electric); Marcia Ramirez - Vocals;

Balls of Fire $12.98 Black Oak Arkansas was in sharp decline both musically and commercially by the time Balls of Fire reached record stores in 1976. They were only a few years removed from the High On the Hog glory days, but four hitless albums had taken a toll on the band's confidence and direction. Half-baked ballads like "Just to Fall in Love" that feature an updated, operatic vocal delivery from legendary raunch 'n' roller James "Jim Dandy" Mangrum are the disappointing proof of the Southern rocker's conceptual confusion. Mangrum's habit of trailing off each melody with a descending croak appears to have been shaken, but the singer's updated style is no less irritating on Balls of Fire. It sounds as if he has been coached out of his element. Black Oak Arkansas revives some of their best Southern rock boogie grooves on standout numbers like "Rock 'n' Roll" and "All My Troubles." These tracks, along with a cover of Bob Seger's "Ramblin' Man," are some of the best the group committed to vinyl. The woeful ballads and "Fistful of Love" -- a not-so-subtle innuendo piece that could make Spinal Tap appear poetic and delicate -- will sour most listeners to this release despite the occasionally striking Southern rock moments. ~ Vincent Jeffries, Rovi Performers: James Mangrum - Vocals; Jim Dandy - Vocals; Jimmy Henderson - Guitar; Pat Daugherty - Bass; Ruby Starr - Vocals; Stan Knight - Guitar; Tommy Aldridge - Drums

Ball gown wedding dresses – for women who deserve to have their fairy tale weddings

Women are considered to be visionaries when it comes to planning their own weddings. They are pretty much hands on especially with regard to very important parts of their big day; like choosing the right kind and color of flowers, finding the right caterers and pastry chefs to bake the cakes and other goodies, even the linens that are to be used for the reception are meticulously examined to make sure that everything is perfect for the wedding. The same process goes with choosing the right wedding gown: the style, make and fabric plus the way it fits the bride's body shape.

This process of natural selection is not very easy to do; women have to try on different wedding gowns to see if she can really find the right fit or she should go to her favorite couturier and ask to make her the most elegant gown one can ever imagine. But for those brides who are set to look like princesses being rescued by their princes, the ball gown wedding dresses are the attires of choice. Ball gown wedding dresses have this very royal effect on brides who decide to wear them.

These ball gown wedding dresses are for those formal or traditional weddings which require the bride to be as elegant and sophisticated as a princess on her wedding day. Designs also vary, there are ball gown wedding dresses that have cropped sleeves, some have an off shoulder design, some are strapless and there those that cover the bride for a more formal approach. The styles also depend on what the bride has specified.

The great thing about ball gown wedding dresses is that the style hugs the bodice while the skirt is full and drapes nicely. This style is also versatile; ball gown wedding dresses can come in different makes like a full dress or with a corset like top and a full skirt for the bottom. This can also allow the women to mix and match the styles of tops and skirts for a more customized and body friendly look. Trains can also be added to ball gown wedding dresses to create a more sophisticated and formal look. The bride should choose a train that is not too heavy for her, so she will not feel restricted when walking and moving around.

Choosing ball gown wedding dresses are also influenced by the kind of fabrics used to make them. For women who would like to dress like they're attending the royal ball, ball gown wedding dresses made with fabrics that are light and a bit fluffy can create elegant layers perfect for that ball like event. Tulle and organza are most of the time used to make the fluffy, puffed up effect on the gowns' "skirts". For a stylishly elegant look, satin overlays in ball gown wedding dresses are the most appropriate style that a woman could choose. Intricate bead work on the upper halves of ball gown wedding dresses can create a slimming effect especially when partnered with plain satin full skirts.

These ball gown wedding dresses can really work well with most body types; pear shaped women who are bottom heavy can wear this style to accentuate the upper part of their bodies and hide the lower half. Women who have slender figures and those blessed with larger busts can wear ball gown wedding dresses to create that hourglass silhouette. Although this style can compliment almost any body type, it is always best to make sure that the wedding dress is not too layered or poufy because it can create extra bulk and weight on the bride, which can literally look like she is wearing a parachute. The extra bulk can also affect those who are a bit challenged with regard to height, heavy and bulky ball gown wedding dresses can drag them down.

Overall, ball gown wedding dresses should be on the top priority when it comes to choosing the right wedding gowns. With ball gown wedding dresses, women can now envision riding with their princes towards the sunset and living happily ever after; after all, every woman deserves a fairy tale love story.

You Really Can Get a Bad Credit Car Loan

 

So, your credit’s not the best. A couple things happened, you were late on some payments. Now you’ve got some credit issues. Iffy credit is not the same as bad credit, but in the eyes of a lender, they are both high risk issues. Which is why you need a lender who will be willing to give you a higher risk car loan.

Now is a really great time to buy a new car, truck or SUV. The problem is that lots of people have dinged up credit. Now more than ever, lenders are catering to people with the same issues as you and offering bad credit car loans. We see the commercials all the time - dealerships telling you that if you have a job and $147.00, they can get you in a vehicle. If you need a car and you have credit problems, you should be taking advantage of these offers.

There are a few things you need to know, though, before you head off to get your auto loan.

? As with all loans, shop around. If you’re considering going through a car dealership, make sure they have a decent inventory in the price range you think you’ll be looking. You don’t want to be pre-approved for a certain amount only to find the dealership’s selection in that range is severely limited. Don’t accept a loan with an interest rate of more than 9.5%. Even with bad credit, you shouldn’t have to pay more than that.

 

? Don’t always fall for the deals. In certain parts of the country, dealerships are making deals to sell off their existing inventory, which can mean big savings for you. One dealership in Northern Illinois was offering a “buy one, get one for $1” deal. In other words, if you bought one new vehicle, you could get a second used car for just a dollar extra. While this can be a great deal if you have great credit, you may find that you’re overextending your budget if you take advantage of the deal, which may involve purchasing a more expensive new car.

 

? Be aware of what your lender will expect of you. If you’re shopping online especially, it’s really important to know if your lender has terms and conditions. They might only be willing to lend you a certain amount on a new vehicle, as the risk of your brand new truck breaking down is substantially lower than that of a four year old Chevy. Understand that to a lender, this lowers the risk to them, because if they’re in a position where they have to repossess your vehicle, it will be more sellable and likely in better condition.

 

? Be ready to put some money down on your new SUV. Or car, or truck. In bad credit situations, a potential lender will take your request more seriously if they see you’ve taken the time to save up a decent down payment. If you’ve got $1000 to spare, it’s a good idea to use it. This will help your chances of getting a bad credit car loan and it will help to reduce the cost of the loan in the long term.

Most of all, don’t set your sights too high or get too discouraged. You may find that you need to apply with several different lenders to get an auto loan to fit your bad credit situation. Don’t give up. Depending on the severity of your credit, there will be someone willing to finance you.
