Abstract: An oil skimmer is a device designed to remove oil or other hydrocarbon substances from the surface of water, commonly used in industrial processes, environmental remediation, and oil spill cleanups. Its primary function is to separate and recover oil from water to mitigate environmental damage, enhance water quality, and reclaim valuable oil for reuse. Oil skimmers are widely used in industries like manufacturing, refineries, shipyards, and wastewater treatment plants. They are instrumental in maintaining regulatory compliance and ensuring the sustainable operation of facilities.
