FOILEX TDS WEIR SKIMMERS AND POWERPACKS
 

Foilex TDS Skimmers are designed for harbor, coastal, and offshore oil spill recovery. They are equipped with efficient, low-speed, onboard TDS pumps that use patented Twin Disc Archimedes Screw technology that delivers up to 70% higher recovery capacity than traditional screw pumps. TDS Skimmers are available in two versions:

  • TDS Skimmers: free-floating screw-pump skimmer with a three-pontoon frame
  • TDS Crane Skimmers: nonfloating screw-pump skimmer head suitable for shallow water

TDS Skimmers are hydraulically driven, powered by Foilex hydraulic powerpacks or by available ship's hydraulics. We provide suitable hose packages for connecting the skimmers and powerpacks.

TDS Skimmers handle all types of spills, from light diesel fuel to heavy crude oil.  Strong cutting knives in the pump intakes handle most types of debris commonly found in oil spills.
