The worldwide increasing demand for oil and refined oil products is leading to more offshore drilling, transport and storage of oil. However, oil spills present a significant risk, particularly in the petrochemical industry, where incidents can occur in an instant during the storage, transfer, or processing of oil-related products.
These spills, especially in challenging environments like ports or offshore locations, demand a rapid and effective response. Traditional oil-skimming solutions often struggle with rough water conditions, slow deployment, and limited recovery capacity, leaving industries vulnerable to prolonged environmental and financial damage.
The FORU oil skimmers by Hytrans are designed to overcome these challenges. Using the HydroSub hydraulically driven submersible pumps, the skimmers can be deployed within minutes.They are easy to operate and have no external mobbing parts. The buoy-shape makes the FORU stick to the waves even in tough water conditions. Their exceptional performance enables them to clean up spills of any size—from minor incidents to large-scale disasters—ensuring quick containment and reducing the impact of the spill on the environment and surroundings.
The HydroSub not only drive FORU skimmers but also drives the Hytrans’ submersible pumps used for firefighting or flood control, offering a versatile system that delivers superior performance for various applications. Clients can choose to power the skimmers either with a HydroSub system or a separate power pack, depending on operational needs.
