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, maintain and clean. Just like the FORU-70, it has a down-draft based technology. Its shape it allows it to float freely and become one with the waves (up to 2,5 meters or 8.2 ft), ready to work in the most demanding conditions.
As no assembly is required prior to deployment, it can be deployed quickly. The FORU has been extensively tested with various typen of oil at the Norwegian Coastal Administration’s test centre in Horten, Norway.
The FORU-340 is powered by the HPU-93 hydraulic power pack. It is a versatile hydraulic power pack capable of delivering high performances in all types of oil spill situations.
The engine of the HPU-93 is housed in a robust steel frame design to protect the components and ensure good operationof the unit. The frame is insulated for noise reduction to ensure quiet 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 that protects hydraulic oil level, oil temperature and engine temperature.
The control panel ensures that the skimmer operates failsafe and highly efficient.
