The FORU-340 is the flagship of the FORU product range, designed for coastal, offshore or arctic environments. This robust skimmer can recover large quantities of oil in record time, up to 340 m3/h. The toxic liquid will be pumped into a storage facility such as an oil tanker, barge or bladder.
The simplicity of the design makes this skimmer very easy to use, easy to maintain and easy to clean. Just like the FORU-70 it has a down-draft based technology. Its shape makes it free-floating, becoming one with the waves (up to 2,5 meters or 8.2 ft)) and therefore ready to function under the most challenging circumstances.
As there is no assembling necessary before deployment it can be operational quickly. The FORU has been thoroughly tested with different types of oil at the Norwegian Coastal Administration test center in Horten, Norway.
The power source of the FORU-340 is the HPU-93 hydraulic power unit. It is a versatile hydraulic power pack capable of delivering high performances in all kind of oil spill situations.
The engine of the HPU-93 is contained in a durable steel frame design to protect the parts and ensure good functioning of the power pack. The frame is isolated for noise dampening, to ensure a silent operation. Equipped with a central lifting ring and forklift channels the HPU-93 is easy to transport on land and offshore.
The HPU-93 is 100% mechanical with a spring starter and mechanical oil based safety system which protects hydraulic oil level, oil temperature and engine temperature.
The control panel ensures that the skimmer operates fail-safe and very efficiently.
